I got a PB 301+ for Christmas (from pocketbookreader.com), with firmware 15.2 on it. I plugged it in and charged it overnight.

After that, if I locked the keys and left it on my desk overnight, the battery would be dead in the morning every time. It would frequently lock up on boot, requiring a reset by the button on the back.

I upgraded to v15.3. Now when I lock the keys (either manually or by timer) and leave it sit for awhile (30 minutes), it locks up and I have to reset it. Doesn't matter if I'm at the menu or in an app. It still frequently locks up on boot, with the green light saying lit.

If I turn off the timed keylock and turn on the timed shutdown, it usually locks up on boot.

The battery still drains overnight if I don't shut it off.

Is there something wrong with my hardware, is the firmware that buggy, or am I doing something wrong? I haven't made any unusual changes after installed the new firmware and doing a "Format Internal Memory".

Thanks.

I really want to like this device, especially having paid so much for it compared to a Kindle or Kobo (I'm a professional Linux developer, and the potential to hack on it is appealing), but I'm getting pretty frustrated and annoyed that I may have to return it. Especially after being disappointed in finding that FBReader is greatly stripped down and missing some of the features I used on my N810 (not the least of which is its library manager).
