(Fwiw the book is a Kobo purchase that has been, shall we say, liberated, and then coverted to Mobi using Calibre...)

Could it be that indexing is the problem?
The first week I had my Kindle it was very unstable; freezing up and I kept rebooting it all the time. At the time I thought the subsequent software updates 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 fixed it.
But in hindsight, I think it was the indexing that caused most of the problems. I loaded 2000 books in batches of 2/300 on my Kindle. Indexing those books took a few hours and a lot of battery (didn't show up on the indicator though).
I couldn't read or do any other thing on the Kindle before indexing was completely finished and battery recharged.
So I learned to give the Kindle plenty of time for indexing and recharging after downloading a lot of books. And that worked for me.
