I've had my Aura HD for a few weeks and was enjoying it. But, the last few days ... I'm getting ticked off with it. Here's the deal: when I turn the unit on (hitting the little switch on the top) it is taking 2 x to work. Then I get a white screen for a few seconds followed by the little cubes. After about another 30 seconds I get the home screen. It then takes another several seconds for that to become active so I can press on the book I'm reading. At that point I am returned to my current page (sometimes a few pages back) and I continue my read.

It was working just fine and I've not changed anything here.

So:

Could it be just the book? I've not tried loading in a different book to test.

Do I need to "reboot" the unit? Not sure how.

A paperclip reset? Don't really want to do that since it'd probably need to refresh the OS at that point and probably dump out my shelves as well.

BTW, no cover here. Just letting it time out to get into the sleep mode after 10 minutes.

Suggestions?
