If they have an answer that works, please pass it along. Mine has been doing that since October. Only way to fix is to force-quit connect and start it up again. Sometimes it takes three or four tries before it works...

It's not your computer, probably, kamyar: same thing happened to a lot of us. They had to replace the motherboard in mine. Looks like the Readers may not be quite ready for prime time. It's the Curse of the Early Adopters.
But mine works now and is okay. |
