Had a funny with my PRS-600 today.

I read for a long session last night (during which everything was fine), so the battery was on 3 bars when I turned the machine on this morning.

I thought my eyesight must be going. Every item of text on the page was "doubled", with a second, fainter, image of the text item about 2mm to the right of the original. Worst still, when I turned the page, it wasn't cleared, so the screen rapidly became completely unreadable.

I went back to the library and opened another book. No difference.
I fully shut the machine down, and rebooted. No difference.

"Oh dear, how jolly annoying", I thought (or words to that effect).

Finally, I connected the machine to my PC for 5 minutes. Disconnected it again. Everything back to normal and it's been fine since.

Very strange. Anyone had something similar happen?
