Early on (mine was purchased a few months after they were released to market) I had the experience of finding, rarely though, that when I went to turn to reader on after being left in sleep mode that it claimed that the battery was flat and so would not turn on until charged ("claimed" because without disassembling the reader there is no way to tell).

However, the problem went away soon after others also started mentioning the same thing. Why, I don't know, but it may have been corrected in one of the subsequent firmware updates, so if yours has not been updated to the current then that would be worth doing.

I don't know what the cause was but suspected either a software glitch that erroneously reported a flat battery (i.e. it was not really discharged) or that the wireless transceiver was occasionally turned on when the reader was switched to sleep mode (in my usage wireless was never used) and the battery flattened (the wireless being the only current drawer likely to do that.)

Like Toxaris, I very rarely use the eject button, nor the OS ejection of the device either, and I suspect that your problem is nothing to do with non ejection.
I don't use Calibre, but have had the "sleep bug" a couple times. In both cases, after I finished reading and deleted the book I had most recently installed, the problem went away, so maybe there was a problem with the book?
