Familiar crash
Hello,
Every day, I fetch news from the Sydney Morning Herald using calibre and transfer it to my PRS500, then turn it on standby. When I go to read the news ebook, the PRS500 crashes; no error messages are given. I can read anything else beforehand but it always crashes when I attempt to read the uploaded news ebook; usually during the formatting process, sometimes when I press "read now" and occasionally after reading the table of contents. I have no idea what's going on or why. I should add that after this crash, the PRS500 acts normally and I can read the news ebook fine. I am using calibre 0.4.83 and PRS-500/U 1.0.03.07170 Last edited by AprilHare; 09-10-2008 at 09:48 PM. Reason: Addendum |

It's a bug in the sony firmware. You should pester SONY to fix it.

Try using eBook Library to transfer the Sydney Morning Herald to your 500. It will pre-paginate it and that may solve the problem.
