Unhappy oh my god i think i broke it. please help.

i've had a shiny new 700 for two entire days now. i adore it, but i've not even had the time to explore all the different functions. today i was trying to convert a dictionary to use on it and trying different file formats. it was a very big file, whatever the format (i was testing epub and rtf). after transferring the file manually via the file explorer i ejected it and tried to turn it on ; it got to the start up screen with the turning arrows but showed "no books" "no collections" etc. and got stuck. i reset it using the reset button in the back and it began to turn on again but got stuck again on the home screen. the led on the top was on yellow unblinking, then after another attempt to reset (nothing happened) and an attempt to do a complete shutdown (by holding the power switch for several seconds) it is blinking yellow. it is stuck on the home screen and nothing will react.

i plugged the usb cable back in thinking i would remove the large file, if that is making it freeze, but apparently windows doesn't see it, nothing happens : windows file explorer doesn't see it nor does the "eject usb device" manager (although the led turns red with still the yellow blinking as well, which i think indicates the battery is charging).

the battery is completely charged currently.

i really hope somebody knows how to fix it because i think i will cry if it's not possible. my cousin got it for me in canada and mailed it to me but since i live in france i've got no warranty, and i can't afford to buy another one.
