Here's what happened:

Got it home.
Tried it. Put to sleep.
Plugged in. Charging. Stayed sleep.
Took it later in the night to show family.
Put to sleep and plugged back in. Stayed in sleep.
It stayed on the shelf like that all night and next day no problem.
Later the following night I'm watching TV and notice a flashing on the shelf, about 3 times.
I looked and the reader screen was black (no book cover in sleep).
I picked it up while still plugged in.
3 loading dots appeared on the screen for a few seconds.
Then went right back to last book cover in sleep mode.
Left it rest of night and morning.
Just checked and it comes out and goes in sleep mode fine.
That description sounds like a firmware update. There is an daily sync that happens and if there is new firmware available, it will be synced at that time. There is an option that the device should be setting so that it immediately goes to sleep after install and reboot is finished.

The only reason I question that is that the update should have happened when you did the setup. It can get skipped, but, that would have meant the device had the factory firmware on it. And the home screen should have changed at this point.

Alternatively, something else triggered a reboot. Maybe nickel hung while it was doing a sync or something. It is unlikely to be a faulty device.
