This has happened to me before. When your reader boots back up, the screen with the little arrows and you can see your menu, quickly plug it in to your computer. When the pop up on your computer asks you if you want to view your folders, open the reader folder called "cache" and delete the books you just added from the reader. Unplug the reader and see if it works again. If it does then you need to reformat the books to another format using calibre or whatever you use. then try adding one at a time and unplugging in between. This way you know which book is causing the problem if it doesn't work again. I found that if this happens, I convert it to .rtf or .txt and it usually works.
If this doesn't work, you can convert it to .lit or .pdf and delete the .epub file, then convert the .lit or .pdf to whatever format you want.
When you unplug the reader, if it still reboots itself, you may need to email the company that you bought the books from.
I hope this helps, it works for me. I know it's a total pain when this happens. It tends to happen to me when I add like 20 books at once, and then I never know which book caused the problem.
