Hey guys. You've helped me before, hopefully you can do it again.

I have a recently purchased PRS-505. I love it, and have had no problems with it until now. The issue is that one particular book freezes the reader. I can select the title, but then when I hit "begin" the reader freezes. Won't go past that screen. The power switch will turn the display off, but not back on (or at least nothing is displayed). A soft reset fixes the problem.

The book is an LRF file which I created using libprs500. As far as I can tell there are no issues creating the file. I can view it just fine in Sony's ebook reader sofware, and there's no weird formatting, text loss, or anything. In short, everything seems as it should be with the conversion. In fact I've even converted others in the same series, and had no problems. I use libprs500 for all my conversions and have never had an issue.

Any ideas? I can't really think of what could cause this. The reader in general works fine, which makes me think it's the file that has problems. On the other hand the conversion goes smoothly and seems to work, so. . .? Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have.
