I had two separate problems.
1. The Kindle crashed when I tried to feed it a memory card with 10,699 ebooks on it. This appears to be related to the Kindle's internal limitations regarding large file lists. I retested last night with the Sandisk and found the results were about the same.
2. The Kindle would crash when I used the usb cable to transfer files to either its internal memory or the memory card. The crashing only occurred when I had the memory card inserted. It didn't happen when I later switched to the Sandisk.
Have you transferred files over to your Kindle by usb or did you use an external card reader to load them? I ask because I had no problems from the Kindle when I loaded files externally. For that matter, after a reset the Kindle would have no problem with the card. The problem was solely related to using the usb transfer mode while the PNY was inserted.
If you aren't seeing any problems with usb transfer, I'll have to assume that I just got a wonky card and all PNY are not dangerous. Either way, I'm very happy with the Sandisk Ultra II. My only concern was that I bought it at Staples. I haven't bought media cards in years so I assumed that Staples would only charge a mild premium. I paid $97 for the card and was shocked when I saw that the Ultra III was about $55 on Amazon. I took it back for a refund and told them it was crashing my pda. I was furious. There's a difference between charging a premium for convenience and highway robbery.
