I'm having trouble loading a mobipocket ebook into Calibre. My other mobipocket books have all loaded with little or no trouble, but when I try to load this one I get the following message

"calibre, version 0.8.8
ERROR: Adding failed: The add books process seems to have hung. Try restarting calibre and adding the books in smaller increments, until you find the problem book."

The book is some 40.5 mb in size (a collection of mystery novels/stories) and I can't exactly shrink it down but when I try to load it into Calibre it doesn't seem to want to load properly. Any ideas of how to resolve this problem would be appreciated.
