I have a K4 with both the screensaver and font hacks installed. If I create an empty reboot file in the "linkfonts" folder it usually reboots the Kindle after unplugging the USB cable. What I've found is that I have to eject it from Windows first, then unplug the cable for the reboot to work. If I just unplug it without ejecting from windows, the reboot doesn't happen. If this is the intended behavior then it seems to be working properly. If this isn't the intended behavior, then it at least encourages best practices by forcing me to eject from Windows first.

Putting the empty reboot file in the "linkss" folder doesn't seem to work no matter what I do. So, since this plugin places that file in the "linkss" folder, my Kindle doesn't automatically reboot when I unplug it.
