This is frustrating to me because I am trying to make sure that the battery life on my kindle is good - and I've been told that if it is still indexing then that can drain the battery.
Any tricks for books that won't index? They were originally .lit files that I have converted in calibre (which I have done to many other books that will index).
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
Have you checked and changed the metadata, particularly if there are any unnecessary characters in the title or the author and author sort are not in accord with each other? You might also reaccess the metadata from the web and let it overwrite the fields.

cheers
