Sounds like a bug, but you might read this report:

They seem to feel one crashing issue involves the Kindle's "text indexing":
"Some users reported problems with browser or apps. Kindle software would occasionally crash. It is generally believed that it’s caused by background indexing process running alongside browser. Whenever new book, text file or document is downloaded to Kindle, it is indexed to provide almost instantaneous search results. This process is resource intensive and may conflict with web-browser or word game applications that are available for Kindle."
They go on to say that indexing a large number of books, like the 100's many new users download or sideload day one, can take a very long time (several hours).
