Hello trowzee, and welcome to Mobileread. It's a bit unclear what is happening to your reader - are you charging it via a USB or a mains adapter? Is it charging?

Yes I am charging it with the USB and lap top. I am at my wits end. It has been charging all day. When I take it off the charger it will have a screen that states openong reader. Then after a few mins. it will go to the screen that has the home page but then the two arrows that go in a circle is there and nothing happens. After a few mins. it goes back to opening reader. Yes it will charge.

Good to have your company, Trowzee. I had similar problems with a Sony when I was charging via PC and laptop. Simply put; it doesn't work. And the battery level on the machine itself is hopelessly optimistic and unreliable. You need a good mains charge. Do that and you might find, as I immediately did, that you'll have years of trouble-free use. Other than that wee hitch, the Sony is a fine piece of hardware. Good luck and best wishes. Neil
