Not really, no. DC's only had one reboot before this one, starting with the Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline. However, there were a LOT of big crossover events tying into Crisis on Infinite Earths, and even more crossovers dealing with the aftermath of those crossover events. Most of those crossovers involved retcons, so that's probably where the misconception comes from.

As for Marvel, they've never had a true reboot, although they've recently revamped most of their titles to be more newbie-friendly (which I think is much smarter than what DC's done).

I hate I have all these questions for you. :P So does that mean that (for Marvel at least) the original Captain America is the same storyline as the current one? Don't they die sometimes? Or is dying and coming back not considered a reboot?

Sort of? I mean, if you wanted to start reading Captain America comics in the 1970s then jumped to a storyline from 2002, the overall tone of the would be pretty different, but they're still technically set within the same continuity.

The characters do die and come back from dead (quite frequently), but it's no different from when a character is brought back from the dead in a soap opera. I don't think we can truly call something a reboot unless the continuity gets totally rewritten and/or replaced, like for example the new Star Trek films.

(And I apologize if I'm not explaining this very well. Believe it or not, I'm not a hardcore fan!)

Marvel's term is "broad strokes." Generally speaking, what happened in long-ago issues is still canon, but it may not have happened in exactly the same way. (In particular, the timescale slides around a lot to accommodate how much faster new events happen in the comic book universe than new comics come out.)
