Anybody?

Some additional info, which makes me think it's not simply battery drain. My 350 was working OK for a few days, and battery meter was at 3 bars. Was reading earlier, shut off the Reader (not a full shutdown). Tried to start it up again a couple of hours later--dead. No pressing of the on/off switch or reset button helped.

As soon as I connected it to a usb cable (to my pc), the Reader began "opening book" as if starting up from a full shutdown. The orange light on top began flashing for a few seconds, and then the red recharge light came on (with some flashing for another minute). Reader screen said it was charging. When I disconnected, it seemed to be back to normal, except it 'forgot' the book I was reading; on the homescreen, the 'continue reading' section at top was blank.

Any ideas why my Reader goes dead and restarts instantly when connected to a usb cable? I haven't added books in a while, am using just a small portion (maybe 5%) of internal memory. The one library book (ePub) I borrowed a while back has been finished and deleted for a while.

If nobody has any idea, I'm just gonna do a factory reset and reload books, I guess. Last chance to prove you're a Reader maven!!
