@ScalyFreak: The prs-505 can display .txt files directly, though some formatting will be missing. That was what I did before I got the ePub file to work.

I have about 20 e-books in ePub format. I just bought the e-reader and I expected to have more trouble with other files later, because the first file I tried caused me trouble.
For now I have converted all 20 e-books from ePub to ePub in Calibre. This seems to fix the problem of restarting (probably memory overload caused by ePub). It also makes the loading of the books and the pages much faster. I hope this will be enough to view most ePub files on my device without any problems.

(for people looking at this thread wondering where to get software to repair ePub books. I couldn't find any other than epub-fix by Calibre. There is another project called epubcheck, which only checks ePub files for general problems but does not fix them.)
