I didn't try to let it charge for 2 days, I will try that thanks. As for the time it freezes : I don't know, it is simply unresponsive unless I press the button for more than 20 seconds, but it cannot restart this way anyway.
Then I deleted the books from the documents folder when it was still working in USB Drive mode. Was it a bad idea ?
Also, is there a good chance that it will be mounting if I boot on Linux from my Mac, if it is not mounting with OS X ?
thanks !

The point is not to let it charge for 2 days, it is to let it run for two days (which requires it to be on external power).
Battery run-time is only about 2 hours.
The advertised month or two is because the hardware is shut down nearly all of the time (in normal use).
Just because there is no change on the screen does not mean it is not running.
It could just be busy doing something that doesn't show on the screen, like correcting a bad flash memory.
Does your Mac have any USB-2 connectors?
Try those, rather than any of the USB-3 connectors.
Did you happen to use a different cord and/or Mac port between when you could see external storage and when you could not?
If so, check that cable to be sure it is not a "power only" USB cable.
Deleting book(s) when it is in USB storage mode should be safe.
The system has to be running fairly completely before it shows the USB storage (that is towards the last of things it does when starting up).
Did the books you deleted remain deleted when you looked at it after the next restart?
