I reset my 505 but nothing improved. A full recharge also was not helpful.

Then I realized the on/off button would not shut down my unit.
Did you use a wall charger to charge it? It would have been nice to know if it worked while on a charger. It sounds as if there might be a battery problem.

At this point HarryT has me leaning toward a Bebook Neo. The touchscreen is beneath the readers screen so it doesn't reduce contrast like the 600. I'm 51 and I need as bright and clear image as I can get.

The Nook seems as if it will have a large hacking community so it will be interesting how it grows and what new features get added in.

Right now my 505 w/PRS+ is great (knock on wood).

I hope your device is repaired quickly.
