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.
I was having that problem. What ended up working for me is holding the the EXIT button (left half of the round button in the bottom right corner). If you hold it for a couple of seconds, it does appear to back out of every situation I have encountered which "feels" like a locked device scenario.

Hope it works for you.
