I've been having this problem for several months now. I don't think it has anything to do with the new desktop software, but it is new since they updated the firmware last year. At first I thought it had to do with the book I was reading, I think it was an RTF file, but it still happens with books purchased from Sony and PDFs. I managed to decrease my freeze-ups considerably by completely wiping the device memory and reloading from the desktop, but now it's a few months later and they're happening nearly twice a week.
My best guess as to what is happening is that the reader memory buffer becomes full over time and then causes the device to freeze when it becomes too full. This is why I suspect clearing the device and starting over seems to help. Surely, though, a Linux OS shouldn't have a problem like this, should it?
