My PW3 has been acting up lately. It is running firmware 5.8.9.0.1 and I jailbroke it as soon as I got it. I've been running KUAL and KOReader on it for a few years and suddenly one day I started it up and all my EPUBs disappeared.

After a bit of fussing, I managed to reload KUAL and Koreader and everything worked for a few days but I was noticing that the battery was running low. It turns out that it was turning on randomly with full backlight and the power button had sudddenly become super sensitive. Instead of pressing and feeling the click of the button, I could just brush past the button and it woudl turn on or off.

Having no books to unwind before bed is driving me nuts. Any thoughts are appreciated.
