I have a Sony eReader touch edition, that I got around November 2009. I paid approx. 300 bucks for it along with taxes.

My ereader stopped working. I don't have the box, receipt, manual stored handy and can't seem to find it. It is still covered with a one year extended warranty via credit card.

Initially, the battery will not charge fully about two weeks ago and will charge just about half way thru. The buttons will not work now and it seems frozen. Recharging it didn't help. I can't even turn it off now. It has never been this way before. Moreover, I didn't use it much either.

It is almost full though. I am going to try backing up everything on it and then try a factory reset on it. If it still doesn't work, I might go to eReader forums for support. Lastly, if there are no other options, I might just get another eReader. They are a lot cheaper now.
