Having been a user of portable electronic devices for many years, I have by trial and error (heavy on the error) gained at least a bit of knowledge. One thing I have learned is that a soft reset here and there, saves more serious problems later on.

For example. I have had my 300 for a couple of weeks, and read 4 books on it. I noticed tonight that the page turns were a bit slower, and in general the unit felt sluggish. I stuck the ole paper clip in the little hole, turned it off and on and it was a good as new.

I have decided at the end of every book to simply do a soft reset. The only thing that gets erased in a soft reset is bookmarks (I think) and for sure the place you left off in the book. So, in between books is an ideal place to soft reset. If this reader is like most modern devices, this simple act will avoid many headaches.
