Seems like it should calculate an estimate of how long a book should reasonably take to index based on size of book. If the actual process exceeds it by say 100% it should abort and move on to the next book. It can create a report of failed books as a kindle document.

Just indexing forever and not giving you any indication anything is wrong isn't good software design.
