I had the same exact issue with my Glo HD: I would open books and the reader would turn off on the first page/cover, except when connected to a power outlet.
Issue: dying battery. Bought a new one on Amazon for 10 euros, changed it myself (very easy process, took like 5 minutes) and now it's like new. If you search the forum there's a recent thread with a user doing a teardown and explaining the process.
The battery life in normal conditions is excellent, actually, so yours must have been failing for quite some time and is now probably at the very end of its life.
