This just happened to me last night. All I was doing was turning the page of a book and it just froze. I tried to turn it off, then I pushed the reset button and held it for five seconds. Nothing happened. So I left it alone and went to bed, thinking it would eventually turn itself off (like it's supposed to when you don't turn the page for a while). No dice. So I slid the power button to off for about ten seconds, and what do you know? The light flashed, the reader flashed and then started up. Sure, I lost my progress in the book I was reading, but since I'd been staring at the thing frantically trying to figure out what to do, I knew exactly what page I was on at the time.
I'm hoping this isn't something that's going to happen regularly, like the every-few-weeks rebooting my 505 likes to do for no apparent reason.
