What "idiosyncratic reboot"? If I hold the power button for a few seconds, a box pops up and says "Please select from the following options" and the options are "Cancel", "Restart", or "Screen Off". I can also restart from the settings menu if I want to.

With my Aura HD, I slide the power switch and hold it for a few seconds, the screen saver changes to say "Powered off", and then I slide the power switch again, hold it for a few seconds and let it go to get it to power back on.

I don't understand how the Kindle is "idiosyncratic"?
