I've not found many references to this by searching, so will ask directly.

I've seen PRS-600 devices in stores in demo mode many times, and in all but one case on one visit the reader was non-responsive to touch and button input. Powering the reader off/on did not fix this. The display just went through its demo rotation inviting me to touch the screen to go to the home menu.

I'm certain that the exhibited units in stores are treated less kindly than most owned units. How often to owners of PRS-600 devices have them become unresponsive to touch and/or button input?

Is there a known problem in the demo mode, or the device itself?

Thanks for any insights.
