Any suggestion would be welcome, how to fix this!

The times I have seen this in recent firmware versions it has been caused by a specific books. They were all large kepubs with large ToCs. After the device restarted, the books opened with no problems. I haven't tried reproducing this with the 4.5.x firmware, so I don't if it has changed.
If opening the book after the reboot works, then it probably is a sickel reboot. This is when a process on the device is taking a long time and the device appears to be hung. Sickel is a watchdog that restarts the device in these cases. There is a patch that extends the time before sickel interrupts. It might help.
