I have a Kobo WiFi and I was trying to sell it but it seems to be having issues when starting up. I think it's on the way out because the screen goes black and flashes funny and then goes totally black and all you can see is the dots stuck on the screen that appear when it starts up. So there goes that idea.

I also bought a brand new Aluratek Libre Pro and I read the instructions and it said hold the power button in for 5 seconds to start it up. I have done that 2 times now and the screen lights up a bit and the light on the top flashes and then nothing. I press the on button again and the screen shows up and then disappears and then I hold it in again and then the last page I was reading appears. The battery is totally charged too.

Grrrr!
