Sony PRS-300 eReader Recently I deleted a bunch of items from my eReader, which had been working just fine until then. I then put a bunch more items on my reader. It then showed wording something like "upgrading library" (I don't recall exactly at the moment) superimposed over the index. It stayed this way for a good 15 minutes, when I decided it was taking far too long (it had never taken that long before) and I pushed the re-set button. It then attempted to re-set and about every 15 minutes or so it starts over again ... and again ... and again, until the reader shuts itself off. If I turn it back on, it continues trying to re-set. I can't use it now. Can anyone advise me about what to do? Sony PRS-300 eReader Recently I deleted a bunch of items from my eReader, which had been working just fine until then.

No my Nook holds charge for about a week maybe two, unless im trying to finish a book in one day then it needs to be charged about every 3 days. If you are having a problem you can try to take it back where you baught it from, otherwise you can call Barnes and noble their department is very good about getting you a new device if its defective, just make sure you specifiy that this was a brand new nook and you would like a brand new nook in return or they will send you refurbished. Also take note that with the cold if it is left near a window sill or in a car that will effect battery life as well.

I bought the DPF-D70 for my mother. I'm stunned that it has problems displaying photos that have been edited on one's computer. This quote is from the instruction manual "...file may not be supported by the photo frame because, for example, it is a JPEG file that was created with your computer." This statement apparently applies to any file that was in any way altered. It was my intent to load the frame with pictures past & present. Almost all the old photos I had that had been scanned will not display. This has nothing to do with file size. I am very disappointed with Sony & am thinking about returning this for a refund.

I bought the re-setter for my 837 Epson printer along with the print cartridges and as of yet have not used it. The print cartridges that I bought from Amazon were already set but the advertisement stated that they needed to be reset. As of yet I have not used it, the print cartridges didn't need them. sorry I could not be of help.

On the sony website when the e-reader is described they indicate that you can access 500,000 free books from google ebook website. Can you tell me whether you have tried this and if it works?

I never have such a problem with my player. The Stephen`suggestion is one of the possible causes. Other alternatives are, update the firmware of the player by internet or if your player cannot access internet, download the update file to a pen drive in a computer connected to internet then update from the pen drive. Finally if the issue still persits, contact the Sony Support.

I can not be sure of your situation but I was having trouble with a a high speed card reader that I purchased with the camera. Then a friend suggested I purchase a Kingston card reader (under $20 at the time) which reads multiple card styles and I have not had any trouble since.

Same issue here...constant write protection issues. Even after removing all read write protection on both sides it still has issues. Format no help either. Weird.

http://www.newpower99.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=sony+reader&Search.x;=22&Search.;y=9I just bought a PRS650 ereader and was happy to see the instructional video on newpower99. Cost is around $25. Doesn't look too hard to do

No - it doesn't work very long - I had it less than 3 months and barely used it when it completely stopped working. When it did work, it didn't work well for reading.

I think I have two answers for you. When it happened to me I got a "new" Kindle. But I always thought that it was refurbished, it went down in less than two years. I was told then that the practice would be to give me a new one for one of less value, by one step.

I had issues with mine for a while, I would always have to get on at least twice! The first always gave me a much higher reading, the second was usually correct. I has now straighted out. hope it stays that way.

Sony prs-700 CAN read a pdf file correctly! That was one of the many reasons why i bought it. If you have trouble reading it in size small, you can zoom in, which won't affect the formatting of the pdf! If you change the font size from a small to a m, l, xl, or xxl, it will change the format though. But, why do that, when you can just zoom in (or change the orientation of the screen).

I bought a Sony E-reader in the US in July 2010. Now I have a problem with the screen. Since I live in the UK, can anybody tell me if I can send it in for guarantee repair in Europe?

I've been worried about contetnt. I read somewhere that Kindle's books "expire" after 7or 8 years! What is that? Why would I want to spend all this money on a reader and ebooks that can't be saved? I read that Sony's books don't expire.
