That sounds like it is powering up from off rather than sleep mode. Is that what you intend? Do you have the automatic sleep option set to turn the device off rather than go to sleep? Or maybe power off very shortly after it goes to sleep? Can you check those options are set to what you want?
As to the other questions:
- It could be the book. But, it is more likely the database.
- A paperclip reset is not usually harmful. It does a soft reset of the device and it should boot OK afterwards. It's usually only useful when the device hangs.
- For a "reboot", it sounds like that is what is happening. You can do a power off with the switch (hold about five seconds) and then power on. You might need to wait a few seconds after the screen displays before it will turn on.
