I'm also a little surprised that Calibre is making buggy LRFs. When I first started using my 505 with Calibre, I wasn't reading about 505 crashes, and I think some people were also using Calibre in a similar fashion as me.
Another thing is the intermittancy of the bugs. One time it will crash on an LRF, reboot, and then the LRF will be fine (it goes thru the pre-processing steps both times). Also it's not like it crashes every time on the same LRF. If I delete the LRF and reload it, it won't crash. If I do this a bunch of times, it will crash. I would say it happens one out of 5 times (on my 505) when pre-processing an LRF.
Astra, could you try my test. Add 10 new books, add them to a collection, view the collection and quickly press the Options button multiple times, and then click on the X to close the options window.

If you are such a control freak (like me), then forgo using Calibre and use Book Designer.
For transferring books use Sony s/w, it does the parsing? paginating? of LRFs for you. Somebody said that the latest version doesn't do it anymore, after that I opened a few LRF books for the first time and it took a second to change font size, so I suspect that Sony s/w still does the job.
I never use Calibre...
Sorry, but I am not going to do the test.
1. I have never created collections (never had more than 98 books at the same time).
2. I am going through battery test period to determine how long I can use the reader without a recharge.
