As I eagerly await the arrival of the K2 I've ordered, I've started thinking thinking about how I'll shift everything over from my K1, especially given between the Kindle memory and SD card I have 33 pages of books to move over.
I worry that just copying over via my computer everything in fell swoop will send my new K2 when it arrives into indexing overdrive. I remember some reports from others that dumping a tons of books into their K1's caused a lot of system slow ups and battery draining while they were trying to catch up with the indexing.
Anyone else with large sets of books dealt with such shifting between Kindles have any tips?
Since I've never transferred between Kindles I wanted to check my understanding of things was right. I gather you can have multiple Kindles authorized - which means they can all read any of your Amazon purchases. So since my K2 is already registered, when it arrives I can copy the files over from my K1 and they'll read fine. Then I can remove them from my K1, deauthorize it and then give it to a friend and it is no longer linked to my account at all (my friend will have to authorize it on their own amazon account.)
