2. The RAM must be very limited. I went wild downloading stuff from Gutenberg.org. I just had too much stuff on the kindle. I removed most of it, and the kindle started working again.
3. The USB plug on the kindle is loose. I finally got the USB working again by sticking the plug part way in, not all the way.
4. I have a 4 GB memory chip in it, and I don't think that was causing the freezes. I think I just downloaded too much text for the limited resources on the device.

It's not a hardware problem. The Kindle has a 400Mhz CPU; that's more than my first 3 computers combined.
The problem is in the software. There is an upper limit on the number of files you can load on to the Kindle (around 6,000).
