I've got a Kindle 2 version 2.5.6.
Using Calibre version 0.7.31.
I created two catalogs. One has all my books and the other has just my unread books (I excluded the books with the "+" tag).
I have an intermittent problem with the catalogs when I view them on the Kindle. Unfortunately it's not always repeatable in the same way. Today I opened my unread books catalog. I clicked View selection list. Clicked on Genres. Got the first page of the genre list. Then decided that wasn't what I wanted so I clicked View selection list again. This time cursor'd over to the number in parens next to Genres (in this case (37)). Clicked. Page 1 of 19 was displayed. Typed in the search box, changed my mind and then tried to hit next page.
Kindle locked up.
None of the keys would do anything. Waited a few minutes.
- Flicked the power switch to get into screen saver mode. Nothing happened. Held the power switch off for about 5 seconds. Kindle shut off.
- Flicked the power switch to turn on. Nothing happened.
- Held the power switch for 60 seconds. Nothing happened.
- Flicked the power switch again, finally it rebooted and came up.
This past weekend a similar lockup occurred with a catalog. This time, when it rebooted it starting rebooting infinitely. Over and over it would start displaying the contents of the kindle (it starts by showing the collections and then has to think before displaying the total number of books). I'd see my list of collections and then it would reboot again. I kept holding down keys and playing with the power switch and finally it rebooted and stayed there.
I have no idea how to debug this because it's not consistently repeatable. If you've got any ideas I'd be happy to collect more data. I love calibre and the catalog. I'd hate to stop using it
