[applesauce]

My paperwhite is less than a month old and I am having some issues. First I have had a touch for a year, so am experenced in using a kindle. I finished a book and touched home, the kindle sort of froze. I had to hit home a few times for it to then sluggishly respond. When it finally went home All my books just vanished on it, so I did a reset, then reloaded my books. I load it using calibre. I did not notice at the time that less than half the books actually loaded. So I went back to load the rest tonight, calibre showed all the books there on the kindle still. I thought this very odd and reloaded the books again. They show loaded in calibre but again not on my kindle. By this stage I think I am going nuts and think try a few things on the kindle. So I delete the 3 books I have read on the kindle. All the right actions happen and I del them BUT they are still there. I turn off then back on my kindle and the books still show. So I click on one and it says content unavailable.
I also notice my battery is only at half after 1 week, yes I turn wifi off and the light is at a low setting always.
Oh I should say those little darker shadows have now shown up at the bottom of the screen.
What on earth is going on with my paperwhite.
Any help
