Finally, it is frozen and stuck in the welcome screen, I tried alot of method to get it back, but it every time i reset it, it would stuck in the screen with five little squres. Then I tried charging it with my phone recharger, some how it come to life( I still dont know why.)
After that I didnt try to open any book, i turned to factory reset. I setup and update the firmware to version 3.0.1, and i hope that would help. I put one Chinese font and two Chinese books in, but it still keeps crashing, sometimes when i tap the home button or when i set the front light or font size.
Then i delete all books in Chinese, only to try some English books, and everything is fine now, no crashings, no stuckings, no resettings. But I really want the Chinese fonts and Chinese books...
Can anyone give some help here?

Have you checked the Summary of Modified Fonts thread? It can be found at

The font file naming is critical as is power cycling the ereader after adding a new font. To see the font family name under Windows, use the Windows Font Viewer (see attached image). Very often the names of the font files have little resemblance to the internal font name.
