Oh my... thanks for the detailed report. I'll go into detail about each of the messages below.

I looked at the forum and saw that some thought that the collections of over 100 ebooks make problems. I had collections > 200. I've upgraded my collections (on my computer, in Calibre) for going under 100. Currently, on the K5, I have created 15 collections. 1 is empty. Many many books are out of collections.
I don't know about such a limit. I think I've seen success reports for several thousand books.... Anyway: If you put a lot of books on the kindle at the same time, it will be indexing them for a long time (possibly for days!). Indexing is very CPU intensive, and may be the cause of some of the errors below.

I find the crash log:

[31/03/12 17:04] Collections Manager (v. 2.3.3)
java.lang.NullPointerException: null
at com.mobileread.ixtab.collman.ui.EntriesPanel.mouse Released(Unknown Source)
--- snip ---
That is not an expected message, but it shouldn't harm. Anyway, it shouldn't occur in 2.3.4 anymore.

Heap memory is low: 18% is free. (with percent number ~all different)

some lines like: [31/03/12 17:18] Collections Manager (v. 2.3.3)
Memory usage is in a critical state. Memory used is long73848 KB
That is - unfortunately - normal, and is due to the limited RAM on the Kindle. It shouldn't matter.

These are the lines which correspond to "the application could not be started" messages. There is nothing I can do about them. They are caused by the Kindle being extremely busy with other stuff (like indexing hundreds of books), and not having enough CPU power to even *start* the App. You would get the same message for every other .azw2 app, I assume. The only thing you can do is wait until the Kindle isn't busy with other stuff.

I cut , I cut and hope this post is not too long ...So doctor?
And this one is completely unexpected, too. The only explanation I have is that you have corrupt books, which do not have a title... Anyway, this one should also be fixed in version 2.3.4 (download in first post).

So... that's essentially all I know. Try version 2.3.4. If it times out on start, your Kindle is too busy (probably indexing). Either delete books, or wait. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas...
