Does anyone have the same problem?Thanks!
I had my K4 crash for the first time the other day. I wasn't reading any big book just a little Harlequin. I had to do a hard reset. My only conclusion is that I hadn't restarted the Kindle in a long time and it ran out of memory. I'm currently reading a 3MB Omnibus which I added last night but so far no issues but most of my books are under 900kb.

So if it's not a indexing issue it could be out of memory like you guessed.
