Hello all,

I am hoping that some kind soul can help me with this problem with my Sony Reader that I bought last week.

After having some issues with the Sony Reader Library Software (several lock ups and crashes on XP SP3) I've has several problems with the reader going into an eternal opening book -> menu (with loading circle) -> opening book cycle. I have since deleted all the content and used Calibre, but it still has the same problem even after leaving for half an hour.

I cannot power off with the power button, it does nothing.
I cannot do a reset with the little hole in the bottom of the machine.

So, I can connect vis USB and move / delete content (or files via windows), but when I remove the USB it just goes back into this cycle.

Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,
Richard
