I've read for hours on my Nexus 7 no problems. It's never random rebooted yet. I did read those reviews and the problems with N7 before buying it but I took into account all the peeps here that told me to get one too. I figure I would trust people here over reviews from others as the people who post here we are all in like minds and use our devices for reading.

However my Kindle Fire HD2 does random reboot and my MIL's KFHD1 does too. In fact last night I was reading on my Kindle Fire and it just restarted on me. This is the 3rd time it's done it since I got it.

The HDX 1 did the same thing when I own it. My Paperwhite has done this too and so has my Kindle 4 and my Kindle Keyboard. It's just something that happens when you own a device. Oh and my SGP5 has also random rebooted a few times.

I always figured it had to do with running out memory or some bug gets activated who knows it's just something you accept when owning a eReader/Tablet.

Now if it keeps happening several times in one day then something is obviously wrong I would recommend a factory reset first before doing a replacement.
