After playing with the Pocket edge for a day, I downloaded a couple of books into in and started to do some serious reading. While I was reading, I noticed that the other display was blank. I thought it had just gone to sleep. When I hit the menu button, all I got was a white screen.

After I finished reading. I closed the device and went on to other things. A couple of hours later I decided to continue reading and found that all I had was a white screen. I tried several resets, and also tried reloading Ermine - no luck. Then I downloaded and attempted the "golden" update. Did it the second time and the eink side invited me to calibrate the screen, indicating that the system had totally reloaded and was starting from scratch. However, the color screen was still as blank as ever.

Question is -- am I truly screwed? Any ideas anyone - or does it go back to Woot?
