Hi all,
got my PRS-505 today, and the first DRMed ebook I bought from Waterstones made the Reader crash. I then bought another from WH Smith, and no problems at all. How shall I interpret this?

To be precise, the Reader does not reboot, but simply hangs after showing me the cover of the book.

One thing I have noticed is that reading the book is very very slow on Adobe DE, on both Mac and Windows (e.g. 7 seconds to jump to any of the chapters in the table of contents). Could this be relevant?

I am using the PRS-505 firmware 1.2.00.18050 on my Mac with the MacOS version of Adobe Digital Editions and Calibre 0.4.101 . The Reader has been activated on a Windows Vista.
