Perhaps you're right -- in the utterly impractical abstract.

What's the point of Googling a problem which you yourself have never experienced (nor have I as a regular N7 user) just to construct a counterargument against buying a device you've never actually used?

I've never read a single complaint about random restarts on Mobile Read, and a lot of us happen to own the N7 2013. Do you want the rest of us to start Googling "HDX failure" and citing "widespread" issues that haven't affected us at all?

You say you're a technical user but defer vaguely to "the forums," which seems to mean the vast gestalt of forums all across the web, from which you have culled an unsubstantiated consensus -- not only of those with reboot issues, but a cross-ref of the dissatisfied against the satisfied. And on that basis, you "caution" MR members -- some of whom write their own DRM-stripping software and custom firmware -- not to risk owning a Nexus 7. That isn't a technical argument, friend. It's ad populum barking.
