sd card question

[Meemo]

You're probably right.  How do you tell how many books it is trying to index?

Now that I have a K2, I just keep my SD card in my laptop with my entire library on it and transfer what I want with the USB connection.  If I'm going on an extended vacation where I will be away from my laptop, I'll just load the Kindle up with books before I go.  Works fine for me.  I still keep a small (4 gb) SD card in my K1 but not much is on it at any one time.

If you run a search, when it gives you the results it will tell you how many files (if any) aren't searchable (because they aren't indexed yet).

Oh, yes, I have had that happen before.  Thanks for reminding me, Meemo.

How do you tell if a book has been indexed?  I've had my kindle 1 since Christmas, but i've never noticed if a book has been indexed or not.  Am i missing something?  I have about 120 books on 10 pages.  Maybe I don't have enough to index yet?

I'm with you, I have never noticed anything indexing or whatever.  how do you tell?  Maybe it is in the FAQ book that I missed seeing.

If you add books to the Kindle a few at a time, the indexing does not take too long and would not be noticed. It is only when you dump several books at a time on it that it kind of backs it up.

But I usually do 5-10 at a time, depending on how many inexpensive and free ones there are out there.  I do have to put them on via usb, would that make a difference?
