Yes, it is extreme, I agree.

the kindle wasn't designed for something like that. just like it wasn't designed to open huge manga files it has to load into its ram.

And, you would be absolutely right, if not for the fact that Amazon themselves are selling that book, in their official store, and it's supposedly officially supported on all their devices.
Say I'm totally clueless about technology and buy a new device, then I go to the official store, buy an official book, and the player exhibits symptoms akin to a hardware failure. That's not good, and denotes lack of QA on their part. In this case, they had to replace my device (the customer support girl said something like "if a factory reset didn't fix it, then it's broken"). Too bad that probably I sent back a perfectly good device.

also - are you sure it did index the book before you tried opening? i heard that if the kindle still tries to index a bigger book and you open it, that it can crash. and with 56000 pages.. indexing it should take long.

Yes, I know about indexing. The first time I didn't let it finish. The second time, after a factory reset, I loaded only that book, and let it index it (took about 6 hours) but I still got the crashes.
I still wonder how can a large book make the device crash when I'm not reading or opening it, though.
