Hi all,

As the title says... my Cybook Gen 3 refuses to read most PDF files. It just shuts down. I did manage to read a few though, the ones that came with the Cybook and a few that I downloaded (I think).

This was annoying but not a huge problem until now, but I just found out that a book I'd like to buy on BoB is not available in mobipocket format. I was a bit worried about buying the book and not being able to read it, so I downloaded a free sample pdf from Books on Board, and I can't read it.

Is this a known problem? How can I know which PDFs I will be able to read, and which ones to avoid? Or even better, can I solve the problem somehow?

Thanks in advance for any help

Florence
