I find that it is usually a problem in Mobi files that I have downloaded. Any Mobi I create myself are fine. It is a shame as Mobi is still the best format on Hanlins IMHO.

Mostly the lockups happened overnight, or between breakfast and lunchtime reading, while the keyboard was locked. (and once when I had just put it down and gone to bed) I could not unlock the keyboard and had to power down to get a response. The lockups while reading were rare, and I could always go back to the page I was reading and continue without trouble. It happened on several mobi books, but never on a PDF or text file. Spurious character does not fit this profile to my mind. Something the program is doing, even while I am not reading, appears to be the problem. I might do a conversion to mobi with calibre and see if that book has the same issues. I am using the latest firmware, and really, it is a small problem. I am still loving my reader.
