Well, I got my prs500 today and it displayed flaky behaviour from the get go, when I inserted my sd card with a lot of books and comics on it it showed the processing image (turning arrows) but rebooted regularly. Now, this was with partially loaded battery. I left for just a bit over 2h and left it to recharge (on the usb) and when I came back it just displays the usb charging image, libprs500 doesn't recognise it as an available reader and power button blinks the yellow led, but doesn't do anything more than that.

I've tried resetting dozens of times but to no avail. Is there still some hope for this unit or should I just try to return it to seller (unfortunately this was from ebay and I don't think they have a policy on returns, at least none was mentioned)?
