When I do the reset it takes a few minutes but eventually it sorts itself out but I've had to do that about 4 times already today which is very annoying.

I did put the reader on to charge with the ac adaptor. The light went off after about 10 mins which apparently means that the battery is fully charged ?

anyone have any suggestions as to what might be the problem? I bought it here in Ireland but I'm only home on holidays for another week so if it needs to brought back I need to do it soon.
I had this problem also. I found it happened when I tried to navigate using the numbered buttons on the side of the screen. I had already charged it fully (over night). It happened trying to read the pre-loaded book excerpts. I let it sit for a few hours and it was still frozen. I finally got frustrated and started pushing buttons and it finally unfroze. Since then I only use the buttons on the bottom. I am seriously considering exchanging it. Unfortunately my kids in MN bought it for me and sent it to me in PA. I am assuming it was purchased at Best Buy as my daughter is a manager there. Hopefully they would just exchange it for me.
