If you have more than about 3200 items in your Kindle Library, you can't make this problem go away unless you leave wireless off.
Every time it syncs, the Kindle Keyboard will reboot if you have too many items in your library (the number includes audio content and personal docs, so it's difficult to pin down the exact number).
The issue doesn't seem to be as bad on the later Kindles, but even the Kindle Touch can get into a reboot of death spiral (killing battery life), although it is often helped by a Restart from the menu.
What kills me is that the issue was a problem when the Kindle Keyboard originally shipped, was fixed in the first firmware release and came back in the latest release (about last summer?).
Who knew that the "3500 books held" also meant some idiot in the programming staff wouldn't bother declaring a variable large enough to hold the archived book list....
