Kindle Indexing, Battery Drain, and Tips for Loading Lots of eBooks

If you get a new Kindle and immediately load it with a lot of e-books, please do not panic even if your Kindle suddenly starts to move slowly or the battery starts to rapidly expire.

Whenever you add a new book you need to index it so you can find it immediately as you perform the search.

Depending on the number of books you add, indexing may take time. Also, because it consumes a lot of CPU resources, there is a possibility that Kindle will cause problems until the index is completed and the battery will run out quickly.

If you have a huge e-book library that you can add to Kindle, there is a way to make this process smoother.

The indexing process is the most demanding computing process Kindle has experienced during normal operation. The more books you add at one time, the more time it takes to process. Indexing books can save a lot of time and battery life, but you can save tens to hundreds of books at once (synchronizing new or recently deleted Kindle to your account, or side loading If you add) index time will skyrocket.

Every time Blue Moon, the index service of Kindle encounters a book that can not index correctly. This may be a book that Amazon downloaded incorrectly, a third party downloaded a wrongly formatted, converted, or corrupted side-loaded document. However, the final result is the same.

When you restart the device, the indexing service will return to the same location in the queue and try to index the corrupted file.
