This could very well have been nothing more than a low battery. What you describe happens with my Cybook when the battery is low. Plugging the Cybook up to AC power has resolved the issue for me every time.

I have come to realize that the battery indicator is not always as reliable as I expect it to be, probably because the battery indicator is only refreshed when you refresh the screen (by a page turn). But this behavior usually happens when I have not been reading for a while and then I turn the device on. At that stage, I don't remember what the battery indicator showed and then I never see it, because the device hangs up and does not progress through the booting up screens.
