Though I don't have knowledge about the file you attached; I've experience with emptying batteries through bad indexing. For the search-function of your Kindle, all books have to be indexed.
Let's suppose that battery-problem is caused by bad indexing:
Check if the Kindle is indexing by a random search on home screen = type for example aidfhkala-------or other.........that gives you the option to ' search my items'.
It may take a while if you've a lot of books; you can see it working by the ' spinning wheel' left upper corner.
The result should be ' No items' . (that is if you've not loaded any books just minutes before).
If there are 1 of more items; chance is a book/books is/are stuck:
delete the books you've loaded previously and check if there's no indexing going on. If so, you have to remove even more books till the Kindle indicates ' No items' when randomly searching.
You then load your books a few at a time and monitor, to see which books is causing your problem.
If it's a book from Amazon----call and they reimburse you
If it's your own book------convert from mobi to mobi in Calibre or such and try that book again.
I've loaded a few thousand books and found that indexing takes a lot out of the Kindle and its battery. Also the battery-indicator doesn't tell the truth then.
My suggestion: load only 100 or so books in one go, keep the Kindle charged while doing it and check if indexing is done. Let the Kindle be.
And then on to the next 100. It should take less than an hour to index.
Or you load 2/300 in the evening, let it charge and the next morning you check about the indexing. It can take a couple of hours to index.
It is a pain, but it's the only way to get a lot of books on the Kindle.
I wouldn't advise to fill it up to the max. =3500 books. Capacity is 4 GB- ca. 1GB for its own workings=3 GB for books and audio.
Or call Amazon if this doesn't work.
Good luck.
