I suspect that that Vlasovsoft's thing hung by itself for some weird reason. The battery was well charged at the time. My attempts at poweroff were fruitless. Had they been successful, some of my presses at the power button would have powered the device on.

However, the next day the device awakened when I connected the charger. Looks like the hanging had quickly depleted the battery.

Thank you all for suggestions.

Sorry, manufacturers, but all electronic devices need a removable battery. Definitely.
i was saying the same thing on here 4 years ago a removable/replaceable battery should be the standard as you say on all electronic devices including ereaders.

thankful for me i didn't hold my breath.

best wishes koboy
