After 5 seconds, slide the Power switch to restart the Reader.

When the screen displays Opening book

Press and hold both the <( 2) key & magnify (2) key simultaneously until the Reset all screen appears.

Here is the reset process that Sony Support walked me through when my PRS-650 recently locked up (when I couldn't get past step 2 of the above instructions) :

Reset the Reader by pressing the Reset hole (1) with a small pin or clip.

After 5 seconds, slide the Power switch 3 times to restart the Reader.

This may be a soft reset option...I don't know for sure as I keep my books on an SD card, but it looks like the Sort order display settings I changed are still set
