What dmalovic said. A reading of 2M is because he is touching the probes with his fingers. Even he wasn't, a 2M resistance isn't going to cause the brownouts he claims are the reason the Kindle crashes/reboots.
Gripping the probes of a multimeter here I'm getting around 2.5M. The value will be different for each person and will be massively affected by how dry your skin is.
Whilst the hooks may possibly be the cause of the problem, it isn't for the reasons the author states. If you look at the original blog post, it seems to have reverted to mostly an advert for their product now and has had all of the cover related details removed.
