You know what, I'm out. Close this post or do whatever you want. It's pretty clear that I am perceived as a BS poster on the forum so I will never be able to contribute in any meaningful way without...

I'm sorry - I thought I'd answered that one. I was charging it about every other day. Sometimes every day. It's a bit irrelevant at this point because sony finally replaced the second reader. This...

I checked that on the first reader when I started having problems ;-) No, the music wasn't on. I've worked in computer support - we call those issues I-D -10 -t problems.

No sd card in either the original or re-furbished readers.

I thought of the 'bad charger' possibility too. The only way around using it, without forking even more money over to sony, was to...

No...I don't think it was an overreaction. If this had been the first time I'd dealt with them on this issue, yes, it would be an overreaction. But I'm 2 months into it and this the second unit and...

Doug - yes, many deep breaths, two months and two readers later. What I found with SOny support is they wouldn't listen to what I was saying. Oh well. No more sony products for me!
