On a reader with 307 collections and some over 3000 books, all on an 8GB Sandisk (cheap blue, not the Ultras or the Extremes) SDHC card, imported from Calibre, I've seen occasional freezing. The most obvious time is when I've been using the reader for some hours, and it's been in and out of sleep mode, then I press Collections; Collections is highlighted... and that's the end of screen refreshes.

I've let it sit for over half an hour, no response. Power button does nothing, either brief presses or for >5 seconds. Pressing the Reset button does help; at this due to impatience time I'm unsure if it's press Reset briefly and wait a couple minutes, or if it's press Reset for >5 seconds and wait somewhat less. Pressing Reset briefly, pressing Power briefly, waiting ~45 seconds, and pressing Reset for >5 seconds and Power for >5 seconds does appear to work after another minute or two.

Has anyone isolated this further?
