Exclamation Possible bug: Reboot while using Web Browser (WITH TRIGGER)

Hey, I've been suffering this issue for ages (in different FWs) but I had never been able to find a clear and constant trigger...

The problem is that sometimes when I am using Web Browser and go to certain web pages, the device just reboots. It really seems like an Out-Of-Memory issue or something like that.

But, till now I hadn't been able to find a replicable web page trigger. It just "randomly" happened...

But every single time I go to:

http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/eread...-kindle-voyage

my AuraHD reboots...

Could you test please?


(OTOH if I look for "Kindle Voyage" in Google, it's in the 3rd or 4th position, although this is not a reliable indication as Google results are heavily localized, as you know).





But maybe this is not a bug at all... Maybe Kobo software is explicitly designed to censor any kind of possible link to its main competitor...

Although, to be fair, the review did state at the end the readers could just buy a Kobo instead... hehehe

Because of that I posted the Google search hint...

Nevertheless, thanks for your test. Glad to know it's replicable even in other model.

I think it's more to do with the content of the site... I don't have the time now, but I'd like to know if it also does it with other pages from the same site...

This URL works correctly on a Glo with the current Beta build of the f/w.
