I've had my Kindle plus unlighted Amazon cover since August/September, and no problems with spontaneous rebooting. From all the bits I've read about the problem, I suspect it only happens if the non-conductive coating on the hinge inserts gets rubbed off for any reason - I can think of three possibilities :
1. It's that way when it arrives.
2. The Kindle isn't seated properly on the attachments, allowing some movement (I realised after a couple of weeks that that's why there was some movement with my Kindle inside the cover - removed it and reattached it properly to the cover, and now no movement at all).
3. Frequently taking the cover off and then putting it on again.
Can't be certain, of course, but the problem with spontaneous rebooting does appear to be related to the hinge inserts becoming partially uncoated (and possibly conducting static electricity from the cover to the inside of the Kindle).
