I'm using a SD card to put on about 10 news articles that I download from Calibre. Not only does the PRS-505 totally reboot itself when I try to get into a newspaper, such as BBC, but the date reverts back to an old date. The time is usually correct, but the date changes.

Almost everytime I turn on my unit I find that the date is incorrect. This is driving me nuts. I'm sure that if I don't put any newspapers or magazines on the unit that I won't have this problem, but one of the attractions of the PRS-505 is that I'm able to have it.

I've complained about this before here and the response I got was that it's a buffer overflow that even appeared on the PRS-500. So why hasn't this been fixed? I thought a patch was going to come out but we're still waiting. How frustrating. The Playstation 3 has gotten no less than 5 patches since I received it in December, but not one for the PRS-505. ARGH!
