Alright - I finally got it to reboot by switching to a bigger paper clip and waiting for about 40 seconds (I had waited over a minute while holding down the reset button with the thin paper clip, but it must not have been hitting the button correctly.)
After a reboot it is now responding normally, and I did not lose any of my content.
It is still distressing that it can freeze up so easily. I was just browsing books, and I have only had it for a few days now.
