First off, I don't think I've had it connected to the computer (i.e. charging) for a few days except for maybe a few minutes her and there.

Was reading earlier this morning and then went to do something else (was holding the reader under my arm as I was loading stuff in the car, it fell out and landed on it's right-hand edge/cover and it would not then turn on. I tried many times and tried resetting it to no avail.

I plugged it in to the usb and the red light came on but nothing on the screen.

I left it plugged in and it appeared to come back about 1/2 hour or so - but had lost it's current bookmarks, book etc.

I don't know if the battery was just low (It was not evident on the battery display) and I was pressing buttons when it was under my arm or if the impact on the concrete may have done something??

Anyone experience anything like this?

Should I potentially look at returning it (I'm still within the 90 day return period for Target -- but not certain that applies to clearance stuff??)
