New Member with Literati problem

nkrenz · 01-29-2011, 01:20 PM

Hi! I purchased a Literati a couple of days ago and everything was running smoothly until about 1 hour ago when I connected via WiFi for the first time to try downloading.
I connected with no problem but right away received a message that there were important updates that needed to be downloaded. I did that without a problem and was instructed to restart.
I turned off the unit but found that this time, unlike previous times, I had to hold down the off button for about 10 seconds before the unit would turn off, previously it only required a slight tap.
I turn it back on and it is frozen on the first screen that displays the name and Sharper Image.
I pushed the reset botton on the back only to have the main screen still frozen,
I was so pleased with the ease of connecting to WiFi and the problem free download and now I am ready to take this back to the store.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

My Literati needs to have the button held for a few seconds to go off, and will "sleep" if you tap it.
Sleeping saves a little power if you're not going to look at it for a few minutes, but will be picking up where you left off soon enough to make it worth not powering off all the way and then waiting for startup. I'd hate to accidentally turn the reader all the way off if all I wanted to do is make it sleep.

I hope this helps.
