Unless the USB has some higher priority and causes the other task to terminate or shift into a background mode and it continues to run in the background while the reader appears to now be working normally for the user?
I mentioned above that I had a similar rebooting problem with my Android phone... In my case the phone will boot almost completely, sometimes several times, and I've also found it's much more likely to reboot properly if it's plugged into a charger when it happens. Really has me wondering if it's anecdotal, or if not, why it makes a difference. The funny part is that Android is also built on Linux so one wonders at the "coincidence."

When I first got Aura it rebooted several times (every time I wanted to show it off it seemed.) I put in 32 G SD card immediately on getting it and baout 500 books which were the same as on the mini at that time).
Fisrt time I rebooted several times then I pulled out card and it rebooted fine. Same as DSNB posted above I think(no books on main memory)
Put card in and reboot, it would go to second set of dots and stay there on dot two.
Take out card, plug into computer and reboot, then insert card and reboot worked every time I think.
Then I upgraded to 2.51 IIRC and it didn't reboot for quite a while. Had similiar issues with Sony PRS 300 several years ago although it only froze 3 times in 2 years.
I assume that the Aura is polling the USB port periodically and changes its procedure a bit if computer detected, but still this doesn't explain what it could possibly be doing inside its little microprocessor to take several hour to reboot when not attached.
Another of life's little mysteries I guess.
