Indexing
I have just got my Kobo BW and am really impressed with it
I've transferred around 130 epubs to it using Calibre (which converted them to kepubs). Vast majority are fiction novels of 300-600 pages I can't seem to work out if it is still indexing or not. There is no 'processing' message I could see as a previous user here helpfully suggested would appear. And - unlike kindles - I can't search for a word in any book in the library to check. I can only search titles, authors etc Is there any way to know if there is an issue with indexing other than monitoring battery life? |

Kobos don't index like Kindles do. To search for a word in a book, you'll need to open that book. You can't search text across your whole library on a Kobo.

There is no indexing. That's only a Kindle thing. Kobo's finish all the the new book intake during the black screen progress bar when you first disconnect.

Thanks. But is there any way to check if all the books are indexed other than opening every single book and searching for a word?

Though Calibre is great for that and more powerful than the Kindle search. FTS is separate from regular Calibre search.
