Heh-heh-he! It could have been worse. I think I started with over 300 books.

Added later that evening:

Reporting back for the next novice who has this problem -- Starting with 112 books, I made a list of the titles and started deleting them from the Kindle in batches of about 15, in between going back to Home and giving the Kindle a chance to wake up and start indexing again. Got all the way down to 18 titles before the Kindle stopped responding briefly, then started cycling (the twirly in the top left corner started up). Voila! The indexing dam has been busted loose -- one title before the book I'm currently reading. :whew:

It's just about finished indexing the last 18 titles and then I'll start re-downloading the original 111 in batches of about 10 -- letting the Kindle index them all before adding the next batch, leaving the title that caused the stalling to the very end.

Lesson learned.

Thanks for your comments and help in this thread, everyone. They've been extremely useful.
