Hi All,

I've just taken the plunge and bought a second 505 from Ebay - I love mine so much I'd be traumatised if it broke, so I've acquired a backup! The previous owner didn't delete their books from it and one of them won't open - it makes the reader crash and go into a re-boot. I think the problem is that page 1 is the full colour book cover, which the 505 doesn't like. Can anyone tell me which software I need to try and edit the file so I can remove this page? The file is a BBeBook but I can't convert it to another format because Calibre says there is no usable source format (??).
I've searched the forum and found plenty of posts involving BBebook as an output file, but nothing that will handle it as an input. Book Designer doesn't seem to handle it either.
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
