I just tried to purchase some books over 3G, and the screen went WHITE, and no response PERIOD.

Even if I hold the power button for 30+ seconds, no change, it's dead Jim.

Can anyone recommend any course of action? I already contacted B&N support. So far, nothing.

Is this thing a piece of junk? Can it be trusted to work reliably in the hands of an elderly avid reader whose trips to the library are getting tougher and tougher?

Should I have bought the Kindle?

This makes me sick so close to Christmas! I think I made a huge mistake.
"Merry Christmas Mom, I got you a White Screen of Death"

thanks for any advice

I find these types of threads very suspcious, Look if you got a lemon which you may have, it happens. It's only 4 weeks old, its under warranty, take the warranty, have it replaced and go on.

If you are a Kindle troll then go back to the Amazon thread if not, do what normal people do when they get a bad product that is under warranty, use it.

Good luck
