Again, I'd be grateful for your advice

If your CyBook is just a few weeks old you should already have the latest firmware (1.2/build 834). There are a couple of issues known that can cause freezes/errors (on all builds):
- Only use MOBI/PRC files (you can convert all formats with MobiReader software or calibre on your PC).
- Always turn off your reader manually (no Auto-Off).
- Don't use pre-installed fonts (especially Verdana), but free available ones - lots of recomendations here in the forums.
- Just use books from the internal memory and don't use more then 20-30 books (bootup will be faster too).
- Always safely remove your reader from USB (either with Windows functions or special tools)
- Keep your batteries charged well (don't go below 30%, some even say 50).
The next update will (hopefully) be here soon and fix some of the bugs/errors, but till then, if you stick to these rules you should be fine.
