My PEZ also has been having the same problem, getting stuck in "keyboard locked mode." I have been able to use the reset button to restart the device.

Holding in the reset for a couple of seconds before releasing. Depressing once does not appear to work. My battery was charged when this occurs. The one time my battery was drained when it was locked the lock released normally and the PEZ powered off.

My indication is there is some h/w glitch as I've also noticed it only occurs when the PEZ is in "keyboard lock" mode for an extended period.

To remedy that, I've gotten in the habit of just powering it off. While inconvienent, I've not seen a lockup in over a week.

REGARDLESS, The one thing I'd like to see as an enhancement is visibility into how much power is left in the battery while reading (maybe a status bar). It's a bit annoying to have to bring up the menu to see battery life.
Well I have found with a .mobi that my PP "locks up" for lack of a better phrase. Usually the issue occurs when first loading the book, or if the reader has been left alone for a few hours or in keyboard lock mode. They light flashes when pressing buttons but nothing happens. Holding the power turns the unit off without issue.

I have only had that issue when reading a .mobi that I made with Calibre (havent tested another .mobi) but other file formats I have used (both bought and converted by Calibre) havent caused me any grief.
