While showing off the new toy, she opened a .pdf, and attempted to zoom in the content to increase font size. Instead, font size decreased and th eReader locked up completely. Power switch not working, soft reset button has no effect. Not-quite-bricked.
Any ideas?
On the positive side, there is a fairly-comprehensive user manual available at the www.sony.com site, if anyone needs it.
Thanks to the site-owners for creating a very useful resource  |
Welcome to MR, CapnHarlock, and sorry that your first post is about a problem.
I have the 505 and haven't had but one problem with a pdf. It was a very large book and kept freezing my Reader, especially when I changed the font size.
Maybe, your girlfriend is loading a lot of pdf's? Or some very large pdf school book files on the Reader? Or when she changes the font size on a large pdf it takes a while to repagnate and freezes?
I just finally USB hooked up and deleted the book from my Reader in order to get it to work again.
Also, on my 505 it moves from S to M to L. If you are on L then you have to go back to S then M to get to the M font size. Maybe it hung up on all the changing?
Hopefully, a member with experience on the 600 will chime in soon with some help.
