Have had the Reader for eight months now, have read scores of books, and no trouble in the page-turn time, a couple of seconds, until now.

Suddenly it is much, much slower, some 5-6 seconds. It only began after about 100 pages into the start of "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy.

I now have to hit the page turn button about three lines from the bottom.

To make it more confusing, I bookmarked that, went to another book to try it, and it seems OK there.

No delay in any of the menus or other functions. It does take exceedingly long to turn it off or turn it on though.

I did a full recharge with the wall plug last night, did the plug-and-unplug fandango to get the battery bar OK, but still just as slow as ever.

What in the world would make just one book act like that? Any suggestions as to how to fix it?
