I think I figured out why text indexing is so fast now. Go to home screen and search for some a text not in a title or author name. You won't find it. I don't think they are doing full text indexing any more.

The iOS app has Collections, and they are different than what we've had on Kindles. They show both on-device and in-cloud items, and you can add/delete freely from your library (you do not need to download to add). But they don't yet sync to other apps/devices. Again it is this sync feature which I think is to come in November and is really what is deserving of the term 'Cloud Collections'. But you can let us know when you have your HDX in hand. |

The default search now only looks at author/title. There is a new option to search for text in the books: "All Text". So that is what you need to use to check indexing status.

![]() I guess we will know in November more about it. I'm not sure if the HDX has the collections yet but I will find out in about 12 hours. ![]() |

kindle-feedback@amazon.co.uk Obviously, being in the UK, I sent my feedback to co.uk and got a standard acknowledgment (same text as I got when I sent feedback about the PW1 a while back ![]() " Hello, We are glad you took time to write to us in regard to the new Kindle paperwhite device.

Indexing books drains the battery very quickly. I'd recommend leaving it connected to a wall charger while it's indexing.

I got a nice personal reply to my feedback about getting two unsatisfactory PW2s telling me that I wouldn't have any issues buying a PW2 as they have sorted out the lighting issues!

Organizing returns, replacements, address or order/subscription changes, as long as they are mechanical in nature, those are the things you can accomplish with a "modern" customer service. Any special requests beyond that probably are not realistic. You can try, but don't expect them to happen. One can, of course, send feedback as long as you never expect any response. At best you can hope for it to reach the team responsible for it (and thus generating long-term change), and try to get that done, but they are so far obfuscated under layers of "customer service" that you'll likely never know if they heard you. If one has ever dealt with e.g. Amazon replacements, the language the reps use is very telling "the replacement was successfully created". That, of course, doesn't mean they've crated a new product for you, but that they have merely created a replacement order - not unlike you ordering a product yourself from Amazon. When the customer service is that far removed, likely on a different continent judging by their names, there is probably no way they can offer anything beyond that mechanical service. None of this of course explains why you got such a retarded response. But it comes from the mechanical nature, much of the time the customer service is just sending out templates under strict time limits, that may or may not apply at all. |
