Strange quirk with PRS-600
Had a funny with my PRS-600 today.
I read for a long session last night (during which everything was fine), so the battery was on 3 bars when I turned the machine on this morning. I thought my eyesight must be going. Every item of text on the page was "doubled", with a second, fainter, image of the text item about 2mm to the right of the original. Worst still, when I turned the page, it wasn't cleared, so the screen rapidly became completely unreadable. I went back to the library and opened another book. No difference. I fully shut the machine down, and rebooted. No difference. "Oh dear, how jolly annoying", I thought (or words to that effect). Finally, I connected the machine to my PC for 5 minutes. Disconnected it again. Everything back to normal and it's been fine since. Very strange. Anyone had something similar happen? |

Never had this problem. I've had some pretty bad ghosting when reading in very cold conditions, but nothing like what you describe, and I get the impression you weren't out in the cold when all this happened.
Sounds like you may have a defective e-ink screen. I'd call sony about a replacement if it happens again. |

Sounds more like a processor problem than a defective screen. But at least there's an easy fix if it happens again!
