hi folks,

just got my prs-650, and i'm using calibre 0.7 to manage it. Now and again, the reader's screen will "stick". For example, trying to click on the "home" tab, the screen will stay in it's previous state. I have to sleep and wake-up the device to get the screen to show what it should be showing. Or, sometimes when i try to turn the page in a pdf, it will stay on that previous page until i sleep and wake-up the device.

The "state" of the screen changes properly. For example, when i click on "home", but the screen doesn't change the display, it still responds to the touchscreen as if it were displaying the home screen (e.g. clicking on a book, or the apps tab, etc).

I'm wondering if this might be from having some improperly formatted books on the device? I downloaded some of the from bittorrent, etc. I'm not sure. Anyone else have a similar problem? Any ideas about tracking it down?

thanks!
