Probably it depends on ... I don't know, horoscope sign you're born to, or something else.

For example, I have it for much shorter period of time and experienced numerous strange things. You have this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=254167

Although I reported ejecting works, it stopped working again. Don't know why.

Also, I uploaded about two dozens ebooks in one go with USB connection (sideloading is term I see people use, but without calibre, just copied it to device). It took pretty long time for device to process them, after that I noticed that I can't change font's size etc. Actually, I changed it, but change didn't reflected.

I needed to restart device and after that it worked.

Only yesterday when I tried to connect device to computer it, you could here sound of USB device connecting immediately. As you know, device asks you if you want to connect to PC and if you allow it, only after that device allows connection, you here that sound...

And yes, the problem was that connection wasn't successful. I couldn't see my device. Standard solution to this problem was restarting device. After that it worked as it should.

Too many problems on my device in really short period looks to me as unstable software (firmware 3.12.0, upgrade was done immediately from 3.7.0). But, mentioning upgrade, there was problems also, but you can read it in thread I mentioned before.

All in all, it's far from stable. Maybe my device is for some reason unstable, your stable, I can't tell, but I see how my device acts from time to time. Luckily for me, restarting device (it's pretty fast cycle, so it's good thing) solves problem for some time, so I can live with it.

Next example is what I write down about changing time to 24 hour format:

Thanks to all who suggested it.

I successfully changed my local to en_GB and now I have 24 hour format (and dd.mm.yyyy date format).

Strange thing is, it didn't worked at first. I found where I need to change info, edited file, but it didn't helped. I restarted device. No luck. I tried another time. Restarted device, no luck. This time before restart of device I noticed corrupted info in config file. It was corrected after restart.

Third time was successful. But, why, what? Well, only different thing I did that maybe had impact is I copied changed version from device to PC.

Maybe it really is my device "misbehaving" and others don't have such problems?
