I've been using my 500 for a couple of weeks now and have been pretty happy. I got it used for a song, and promised myself that even if I loved reading on an ebook, I wouldn't upgrade until the next gen came out in November. But there's one problem that I've been having that is really bugging me that might make me change my mind; when reading large docs, especially the NYTimes delivered via Calibre, my 500 crashes. A lot. And since I read the Times just about every day and it gets a little frustrating.

Is this a problem on the 505? Would it be worth upgrading to fix this? Is there anything that I can do to reduce this problem on the 500?
