Far more likely that one or more of your files caused the problem... I have several eReaders (inc Sonys) which have no problems with quite full internal memory (within 80%) but, like a lot of electronics, they do like some memory to actually work with and it's not a good idea to fill anything to the absolute limit...

Then I copied just one book on to it now and it is working very fine now. Appears that the processor is really slow and one mustn't fill it to capacity or bookmark too much. Certainly leaves a lot to be desired and not a great personal experience but was a good learning experience.

Never happened before.
