I've just seen another post about a "frozen" e-reader. In my case, it was the Aluratek Libre. The new post is about the Ectaco, but the experience seems to be the same. From what I've read, the two devices are almost identical. I didn't answer the other post, because unfortunately, I don't have an answer to their questions. Now, though, I'm wondering, if someone else does have an answer. Why do these devices seem to be working fine for months, and then, just like that, they freeze, and even pushing the reset button doesn't work?And why, if the manufacturers know this is happening, are they still selling these devices? Any technical experts out there who can help us? Is it a mechanical problem, or a software problem or what, exactly?
Thanks in advance and my sympathies to the person with the frozen Ectaco.
