I was having some severe performance problems with my Kindle 3G, so, knowing that you aren't supposed to defrag flash drives, I hooked it up to my laptop via usb, dragged the documents folder to my pc, and deleted it off the kindle. Then deleted the index files folder too. Removed some books from the PC copy of the documents folder, ones that I'd finished with or lost interest in.

I have no music or audiobooks on the kindle, so no need to remove those.

Put the documents folder back, ejected the Kindle from the PC, plugged the Kindle into wall power, and waited for it to re-index.
It no longer crashes and has become much faster - same result people are reporting for defragging. So if you don't want to risk defragging, this works. Or it did for me.
