UPDATE: I did the 15 second reboot and it appears to have fixed the issue (for now). I suspect its being caused by a magnet in the cover. People here are mentioning their Paperwhite magnetic clasp in the post. I have an old Sony generic Reader cover with a magnet on the clasp I am using. Ocassionally the magnet is turning on and off the unit. I think this is confusing the software when to turn on and off the light.
Do you mean that it may be caused by on-Amazon covers, then?
