The 700 came up with a "low battery" warning, but it opened the book. The 500 tried to start, but stalled at "loading." So I'm guessing your issue is the battery.)

EDIT: Plugged the 500 into power, restarted it and it finished loading.
I figure it is my dying battery too. I tried opening a book (+1000 page omnibus) with the 505 fresh off the charger and while slow it opened fine.

Meanwhile, the rest of my Sony Team is doing great. I also have yet to get over how old they are and yet how well they work
