You have to understand what the "reset" button does and how the screen works.
The reset button just turns the unit off, it does not turn it on afterwards. The screen, in turn, is e-ink, which means it stays with a given image until it's instructed to change it. When you normally turn the unit off, it sends a "white" image to the screen before really powering down, so that you see a blank screen when the unit is off; but when you press the reset button, nothing is sent to the screen, it just stays the way it was before (and consumes no energy). In order to do a full reset, you have to press the reset button (that turns the unit off) and then press the on/off button (that turns the unit on, and only then will the screen show any change), no need to press both buttons at once.
