I had a similar experience. I took the battery out and put it back in twenty seconds later.
Just like a cell phone lockup.

I had a strange problem last night, was reading an nls book last night and the booksense just stopped, nothing would work, no clock, nothing!! It wouldn't turn off or back on. I had to do a reset to get it back. Battery was at 5, so sure that wasn't the problem.

 Well said!  The BookSense works well enough as it is.  Why compound

 Turn right, then go straight!

        Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Amplified Bible)

 11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord,
 thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you
 hope in your final outcome.

    12Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I
 will hear and heed you.

    13Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital
 necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.(A)

    14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from
 captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which
 I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place
 from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
