I got my touch a year ago and until now I had no problems with it. During this year I had to do a "paper clip reset" one time. However, this changed yesterday after I updated my Touch from 2.5.2 to 2.6.1. I had to perform four "paper clip resets", and three of them in the same amount of minutes.

First time, I turned the Touch on and I wanted to open the book I was reading and the Touch froze even before the book was open. I performed the "paper clip reset" and when I turned it back on, the first screen shown was asking to set up the language, and the "Welcome" page that I saw only when I bought the Touch. After that it was OK for the reading session.

Later in the day I decided to add more books to my Touch (I have only sideloaded epubs, and I transfer them directly from Calibre). After I unplugged the Touch from the PC the battery was full, I turned the Touch on and I had to "paper clip reset" it three times before I started reading. At the beginning it happened when I tried to put the new books in Bookshelves ... After that the Touch opened on the "Recommendation" page and it froze when I tried to switch to "Reading" page. Last time I was able to open the book (on the wrong page, of course) but it froze when I tried to change the page. After that I was OK reading for several hours (I turned the Touch off before going to bed)... Until this morning when I wanted to read a little bit more, and the screen showed nothing (not the "power off" screen, but rather like it was a brand new device, never used) and my Touch didn't want to turn on at all. I connected to the PC and it showed that the battery was almost dead - only 14% left. Now it's charging.

Any one else experienced this?
