This has happened to me - with very large books.
You can add large books (>20 MB) by running calibre in debug mode at a command line prompt:
1. In Windows - open the command prompt window (under Accessories)
2. Change to the directory where the pesky book is located (My Kindle)
3. Type: calibredb add -d plus the file name of the book (the B00000.azw file name - not the book title)
4. Be patient - calibre will "decode" your book (using any plug-ins you have installed) and then add it to the Library. This can take 15 - 20 minutes.
This has allowed me to add those huge "Collected Works" books to calibre - that hang the calibre GUI interface.
[the -d option is the duplicates option - it forces calibre to add the book even if there is already a book with the same title in your library]
