Hi All,

Been having great fun with the reader and very amazed at how good it is.

Currently have 186 books on the internal memory and plugged in 8 GB card.

Had a problem this morning after loading up a number of novels. The unit totally locked up.

I tried the re set button on the back and it did not work.

By the time I got to the office some 20 minutes later the screen was still on and nothing worked. So my Son held the on/off button on the top and the thing re set itself.

Later this morning after looking at Calibre and downloading the BBC news I tried to go into the news and the unit just re set itself every time, so I deleted the file and all seems OK.

Just thought it would be useful info for other users.

Best regards

Chris
