Your battery was flat. Hardly a surprise if you hadn't used your Reader for 6 weeks; it'll run for about 3 weeks on a charge, regardless of whether or not you use your Reader.

I haven't used it about 6-8 weeks, because my current biblio-obsession is with two authors who are unlikely to show up on the Connect site: one is an English writer, and the other is mainly published in small-press. Has anyone heard of either type of work getting onto the Connect site?

I can't comment on the small-press one, but I don't believe that "Connect" has a prohibition against English authors.
