long story short - don't know why (only thing I can't think of is that it didn't like the books stored in the SD card I inserted), but my reader has stopped working, and only shows the startup screen (big logo and "starting up") - tried soft reset, does'nt work. tried hard reset, it actually allowed me to "reboot" it, but now it's stuck on th start page again. it's been like this for a week. the only thing I can think of is waiting for the battery to dry out and then maybe it will be off, but since I know digital ink devices only use power when changing the image on the screen, the reader could be on forever (well, not forever, but a long time).

any suggestions, other than sending it to sony (which is a huge problem, since I'm in Israel, and I would need to send it to their U.S support)?
