I'm also able to move books and files over to the reader, but when I disconnect the usb it continues to show that it is connected until I do a soft reset. When I do this, it again gets stuck on the start up screen. I've tried to reload the Sony firmware, but I only get as far as it telling me that I already have this version of the firmware loaded, so it doesn't allow me to reflash the firmware.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks folks...

If you are unable to run the Sony Updater because it complains that your Reader firmware is current you have two options.
1. Run Igorsk's Universal Flasher and choose option #7. This will put your Reader into firmware update mode. Then re-run the Sony Updater.
2. Uncompress the Sony Updater (it's really a big zip file) and change the file eBookUpdater/assets/updaterAssets/PRSVersion.dat so that 110018040 reads 110018041 - once that's done, the Sony Updater work at any time.
Good luck!
