Bless you! Hadn't thought of that! I opened the hotel sewing kit, took out a needle, and cleaned out the space between the screen and rim. There was a crumb there. Turned it back on and the touch screen worked! Thank you!

Now I have to correct the operator induced errors caused by hard resetting the device. I backed up the books onto the Sony Library, collections and all, before I reset it, but foolishly left autosync on. Now the libary shuts down after loading a tenth of the books and I cannot shut off autosyncing. I'm sure there are workarounds and given a few hours I can probably find one.

And I'm kicking myself for not bringing the mains charger from home. Am stuck in meeting so buying one may not be practical...

I wished I checked for crumbs before hard resetting. No one to blame but myself.

Thank you. This forum, and the people who contribute to it, are incredible.
