the duration of indexing
Hi!
How much time does it take to have an ebook indexed? I mean when you just download or sideload a "document" not a normal Amazon ebook. When I want to search inside the documents the Kindle always says: the title hasn't been indexed yet. Is there a way to urge the indexing process? |

Usually if I sideloaded many books, I delete first files in index folder, empty trash and plug-in kindle.

Hi,
indexing sideloaded ebooks in my PW3 has been getting more and more difficult...it fails often. :-( Could it be because it is old? |

I keep my kindle plugged into the computer while indexing; it usually goes okay. Sometimes, one particular book/document will get stuck. If this happens, delete the document, restart your kindle, then try to load the document again. This often helps.

Maybe you have a problem similar to mine, and your index file is corrupted.
See: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=312410 The reindexing of 1 GB of books then took around 12 hours. Last edited by Pyjam; 12-03-2018 at 12:31 PM. |

If you are on Mac, you may use a tool named OnyX to show the hidden files.
