Thanks both for this insightful exchange.
Being small in size, I expected that ebooks wont show any difference for page turning or searching. But on the other side, for pdf reading/searching makes some difference? I've seen that at some moment you mentioned "maps" but I do not know what kind of format file they are in... |

By the way, yes, it would be an interesting test, and, probably, the speed of the sd card would matter here (or maybe not). But I simply do not have books that are so crookedly made that would not take into account the number of characters on the html page and would not be divided. But I have heard such claims on the paging speed (users simply created books with a converter, not understanding this and not wanting to understand). |

Apologies for reviving an old thread but it appears I have a very similar issue to the OP with my Clara HD.
I had powered it off and just restarted it and was greeted by the restoring screen. It has been stuck on the restoring screen since (most of the day). The screen shows 5 boxes, 1 is solid the other four are outlines. The light is visible on the power button. The device was at 100% battery having just been charged overnight. I can't turn it off or get any response from it no matter how long the button is pressed. I'd appreciate any suggestions on what I can try to get it going again. Thanks |

Thanks davidfor,
With the hung screen it is very hard if not impossible for me to tell what the device is doing. I have tried the manual restore and done the 20 second power button hold down (the led goes off after about 4 to 5 seconds) When I turn it back on the led does come on but the screen still shows the 5 boxes and "restoring" Seeing the screen is stuck at a very early stage of the restore process I suspect I'm not going to be able to complete manual resets with the state the device is currently in. |

If the manual factory reset doesn't work, you can try restoring the image I have sent you. |

The screen was 100% unchanging even if I held the power down for over a minute.
I had a spare 32GB micro sd card here that I was able to restore the image you supplied and we are back with a fully functioning Clara HD. Thanks davidfor! |
