My K1 is almost exactly 2 years old. I didn't have any problems with it until the last couple months. In May, my charger stopped working so had to get a new charger...no big deal. Now, I've had 3 complete freezes where I had to use the reset button over the last 2 weeks...2 of them last night alone. Last weekend I had one freeze but seemed fine after that ... read 2 or 3 more books over the week including a somewhat lengthy one. Then last night I was reading another book and it froze twice...once somewhat early on...maybe less than 1/3 of the way thru and again in the last 1/3 of the book. Required use of the reset button both times. Have to say I'm a little concerned. Is there any real troubleshooting I can do?
