I have the impression that not many people is experiencing these page flipping problems (I haven't read any complain on this foro with the RC3 firmware) and maybe the problem is the way I create the .epub books using calibre.

When I download a book in .doc format, this is what I normally do:

-I use the Bookdesigner to transform the .doc book into an .lrf book (I had a Sony Prs 505 before the Dr800).

-I use the Calibre to transform the .lrf book into an .epub book for the Dr800.

For the .pdf's I was doing the same:

-Using the solid pdf converter I transform the .pdf into a .doc book and then I repeat the previous steps.


Maybe this is causing the problems. What i'm doing now is:

- I transform the .doc books (or the .pdf) into .odt books using the OpenOffice (I have read is one of the best formats for the Calibre).

-I use the Calibre to transform the .odt book into an .epub for the Dr800.


I've reading for several hours today with this new method of creating my books and the page flipping seems OK. I'll keep you updated about it.
