HI pilotbob

I did actually use only the Sony eLibrary software for all the books, they still format...I think I read the new software does this, not sure.....I did try without the MS and its the same with or without.

funny but since I've been going mad trying to get it to stick on a page again, it just won't (without collections)....it just formats the resets if it glitches, but its not the book at it will format fine next time............when it formatting I don't touch it, so it resets on its own

i have just removed all my collections in Sony eLibrary software and recreated them again and transferred back to reader.......so will see if the initial problem of sticking on a page comes back or if the format/reset stays..........

I do have Calibre, but prefer to use Sony for now as it was supposed to reduce formatting LOL

BTW my firmware is 1.2.00.18050 which some are surprised about as it's newer than the recent Sony firmware upgrade. mine was from UK Waterstones yesterday..........maybe its the newer firmware??
