Hello All

I'm happy to post a positive solution to my above problem. Hope it helps someone else too, if in a similar predicament.

I let the reader be in warm dry place for 48hours to overcome any condensation issues (if any).

I then connected my Reader to the AC power adapter. There was no light indication initially. But after about 6minutes, the red light came on (indicating that charging was indeed being done). The screen continued to show the frozen-page. After about half-hour of charging, I slid the power button, which brought on the opening screen and consequently the Home screen (with battery charging indicator). I shut off the Reader completely through Settings etc. I continued charging for about 4.5 hours. Now my Reader is thankfully back as usual.

So it looks as if the Reader discharged because of the cold AC room (although the battery showed 2 bars on the frozen screen).
