Everything was fine until yesterday evening - today I open the cover, the scrren is (at first) stuck with the cover of the book I'm reading, then goes white with just a smudge of graphics left in the lower left hand screen area.
LED turns green when connected to a PC and upon a long slide and hold of the poer switch it goes blue, but thats it. Nothing happening.
Tried resetting by sticking a paper clip in the little hole in the back, to no avail.
Worst of all: I am stuck in the eReader nirvana of Zurich in Switzerland - took me trips to four shops in two cities to finally source a Sony PRS, so the train ride back won't be as boring as the trip down was
Hope I can find the receipt for the Kobo so I can turn it in for repair.
