Anyone else encountered this?

Last night I was reading a book with DRM that I'd bought through a major Australian eBook seller. Put the device to sleep. This morning when I woke the device up when I open the book it says "this book is protected by DRM" and I can't see the book's content on the device at all. I checked all the other 27 books on my device and all the books bought through major stores (i.e. not the ones from Smashwords or other DRM free avenues) get the same error message.

Nothing happened to the device overnight. It sat on my bedside table calmly minding its own business.

If I do a complete shut down of the device and then re-start it I can all of a sudden access the books again but my bookmarks/notes/last place reading are all gone.
