One more thing to check: older Kindles will stall if the clock is wrong or the indexer is stuck. Set the date/time correctly then search for a nonsense word; if you see “items not yet indexed,” open that list, remove the stuck title, do a 40‑second hard restart, and try again. If it’s still stubborn, deregister and re‑register the Kindle to refresh licenses before using the USB transfer fallback.
