One problem I have observed with every Paperwhite, (1, 2 and 3.) and many firmware versions, including the latest, is that browsing my library in "Grid View" will eventually cause the Paperwhite to self-restart.
This can be reproduced once I have about 500 books on the device, by browsing the books. Usually, if the Paperwhite is recently restarted, I can make it through the entire library once, but trying to do so a second time, or to page backwards several pages, it will crash and re-start.
All of my books are sideloaded with Calibre, so the cover thumbnails are Calibre generated. I guess my question is, does this same crash happen with the Amazon supplied thumbnails? It seems odd to me this bug would have existed for so long and never been corrected if it also affects Amazon loaded books.
