Ok, I have a new Sony PRS-505. I bought it this weekend and it is the updated version (1.1.00.18040 was already installed) but I have had it freeze a couple times while trying to read a really large file.

So twice now, it has deleted all of my bookmarks when I had to reset. It also has to go through all of the "pre-loading" nonsense of opening the books for the first time. Very irritating.

On my sony PRS-500, that would happen every once in a while to books that were on it's main memory, but books that were on the SD card would be immune and always retained their bookmarks.

So when I got the PRS-505, I decided to be clever and only read books off of the SD card, but looks like the card is no longer immune. I suppose if I stop messing around and putting on loads of books before I finish reading current books, I'd be fine. But I like to sorta of load up on books that I'm going to read rather than just books I AM reading.

It only seems to happen sometimes when I put on 1300 + pages books, and I try to think ahead and do all the sizing by pushing the size button three times in a row. I do that because I can resize the fonts while I do something else.

I used to do that on my PRS-500 all the time. But this 505 seems to be a little more buggy and crashes a lot when I do that.

ANYWAY, is there a way that i can regularly save some sort of file that has all my bookmark info? Like the book directory file or something?

On my Kindle it's easy because every book that has been opened makes some sort of bookmark file. So I would just back-up that folder..
