K2i - Storage space question
I just found this and think my kindle might have some problem.
From the spec, K2i should have the usable space around 1.4GB I checked from my computer - Found the total space ~1.5GB (pic 1.jpg) However, when go in the kindle drive and check by total size - it shows the total size ~1.1GB (pic 2.jpg). I'm wondering where is 0.4GB missing? Is this the problem? |

Do you have Windows Explorer set to show hidden and system files? I suspect that your missing 0.4GB are the files used by the system, which will predominantly be the index files for your books.

If 0.4GB will be for index file, it seems to be very big because I only have 52 items in total. Do you see the similar thing on your kindle? It would be really helpful if I can do something to use this space as it means space increase by 40% |

Index files are typically 40% the size of the corresponding book.
