Hi:
Yes, try reformatting on the computer. Then, put it back in the Book Port and
if you're still having problems, try formatting again on the Book Port.

I have to admit, I am not a heavy user of my BP. But, I have a 4GB card and
had not noticed any real problem. Until recently...
I just subscribed to Book Share recently. So, I have been putting maybe six
books at a time on the BP. I basically have nothing else on it, so there is
hardly anything when considering it is on a 4GB card. At first I thought
this problem was because I had the books in the root directory, but then I
created a Books folder and the problem persists.
I stop reading for a time, maybe hours or maybe just minutes, and when I
press read again, nothing happens. If I press and hold a key, I can get
about a half a beep. I have tried pressing the four corners, not minding if
it reformats at this point, and nothing happens. I have taken out the
battery and put it back and no fix. I try more keystrokes and then pop the
battery again and when I replace it I get the message the BP was restored to
defaults, etc. However, the time is correct and I am left at the spot where
I last was reading.
It only seems to cause a brief moment of panic and then frustration, and
finally wonder that everything is back to normal. Maybe I should try
reformatting the card in the computer? Any ideas will be appreciated.
