Same for me, while indexing is a pain while it is going on, the benefits of being able to search so flexibly are worth it. I don't see this as a problem that needs fixing.

Thanks again for this most excellent thread!
As a reference I just got the KO3 and learned something new. After getting it I let the index covers of the books come in first before attempting to download any of them. I do realize that this doesn't prevent the slow imaging and indexing from occurring, but if you have an OCD (like I do), it did help. So my process was ... login prove it works, factory reset[optional], and then scroll through the All section and wait until all covers are loaded. Note: This will only work for no sideloaded books ..... |

One other note not made above, while not plugged into the wall, power-hungry tasks like indexing are throttled and run only very slowly: still fast enough that a single book purchase takes only a few minutes and even a pulse of a dozen books coming down is fairly easy to ignore, but definitely not good enough for big bulk loads (which do, after all, tend only to happen a few times in the lifetime of the device). Plugging it in will intrinsically speed up indexing as well as stopping it from running out of power while it does so.

Thank You so much for that useful information, Harry. I was wondering why the battery of my Oasis 3 was draining and thought something might be wrong with it.
In fact I was loading a number of those Delphi sets at once. |

Hi all! I know this is a dead thread but I found it while trying to troubleshoot my indexing problems on my 11th gen Paperwhite. Just wanted to throw out there into the void that removing my books and uploading them piecemeal for re-indexing wasn't working, but I found this reddit thread which did solve my problems. TLDR: plug the kindle into your computer, manually delete all the files from the Search Index folder, which forces a reindex.
Just in case it helps someone else searching Al Gore's internet for answers! |
