Sunday night I was in the bath reading. When I finished one KU book, I wanted to read the next in the series, and clicked to borrow before I realized the Airplane mode was still on. No biggie, this happens often, but the PW4 seems to get confused when I turned the Airplane mode off, borrowed the new book, then randomly froze.

It would not unfreeze with holding the power button, but I had to go to bed (already stayed up way too late). The next morning it would still not unfreeze, so when I got to work I plugged it into a wall charger. Took it off and found that the battery had completely discharged overnight. When it first froze it was on 55% battery and stuck on the library screen with Wi-fi on, which must have drained the battery completely. So I charged it a few hours to 100%

The PW4 works fine now once I'm reading, but when I first start reading after it's been closed a bit, it will restart the system when I first start reading. It's been doing this for 2 days now. After the initial restart it's fine but this is annoying.

Anyone else experienced something similar?
