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?
I think the point he is making that you can find many, many reports of problems for every device. Some are more frequently noted in different places on the web. Moblieread is very small community in relation to the number of e-reader users so just because it is not mentioned here doesn't mean it's not a problem and it also doesn't mean if it is mentioned here that it is a widespread problem.

We also have to admit that we are probably much more finicky about reading devices here than the e-reader userbase as a whole. We probably on average read on the devices more than the general public and probably have been exposed to a wider range of devices as well.
