looking at all the things that goes wrong with the 505 almost gives me a heart-attack!

I do have a problem with my new 505 though. Sometimes whether I'm actively using it or not, it locks up with a large about 20 point "Page Number _XXX" across the middle of the page of text. This "page number" bears no relation to the actual page number and the reader is locked up. Even turning it off by the top button doesn't unlock it. If I hold the "menu" button down about 10 or 15 seconds it will unlock but I don't know why.

Is this a new bug or what? should I return my reader or is their a fix, like updating the firmware that will help?
Thanks,
Paul
