Joe,
This sort of thing happens fairly regularly.
Commonest cause of errors is something falling on the screen and remaining there causing a continuous signal.
It can be a drop of rain, a hair or even dandruff.
The annoying thing is that the screen is not touch sensitive (that caused a dim display in the older models)
It is worked by light beams/receptors from the edge of the screen bezel, so the most trivial, lightest of obstacles makes a false touch.
I also suspect that the highly reflective angled bezel does not help matters.
There also seems to be a worsening of the effect (in my opinion) if you use an alternate font as the machine has to re-format every page it is looping through and ultimately locks solid.
A hard reset (see my other post) has always worked for me, and even if you have to re-register the reader and re-download the books, it is better than the alternative. Besides which it will be faster and more stable after.
I confess that if I could find another reader that fits in my shirt pocket, with a battery that lasts for weeks, and which could read my 400 Sony E-book collection, I would buy it immediately.
