Thank heavens, I'm not the only person this is happening to! I've wondered if I was alone, because I searched through the forum and it didn't seem like anyone else had a problem with sudden and regular reboots. The really bad thing is that it's starting to happen with my mother's 505--and hers is only three months old! (The first time it happened, I apologized profusely to her, because I persuaded her to buy it. She said as long as she didn't lose the books, she was okay.)
One thing that seems to help: When I finish reading a book, I return to the "Search by Author" or "Search by Title" page, then turn off the reader for a few minutes (or longer). Then I turn it back on, select the next book, and start reading. Before I thought of doing this, I was getting reboots every 2-3 books. Since I started doing this, the reboots have slowed to about every 8-10 books. If you're like me, having to wait a bit between books is a little frustrating--especially if you're in the middle of a series and you want to start the next book right away! But I'd rather have a short break between the books than the frustration of the reboot and loss of collections every few days.
I wish I had only lost bookmarks and collections 20% of the time--I have yet to recover bookmarks or collections when it reboots.
