I am guessing that this reformat may be stuck there as well.

I do not have the USB cable attached. I don't think I needed to but the reader was fully charged. If this is supposed to be a 5 minute operation could someone let me know. Thanks.

I have the same ereader as you have. I've reformatted my ereader's internal memory and it took less than 10 minutes total. At the time I used it as a quick way to get rid of a large number of ebooks on my ereader since it was faster to do it that way and then resync my ereader with the Sony Reader Library (SRL) than using just the SRL to delete the ebooks.

Something that may be a factor with the two ebooks: I've found that if you sync an ebook to your ereader using the SRL, it can only be removed by removing it from the sync list and then resyncing your ereader with the SRL. Also, if you've upgraded to the current version of the ereader software you might be able to delete the ebooks on the ereader itself.

I hope that helps.
