I have had it! I spend more time rebooting, resetting, turning on, turning off my PRS-505 than I do reading anything on it. I don't know where to begin so I'll just say that one guaranteed freeze comes at the end of each chapter. Get to that page and then nothing works. So it's reset time, followed by powering down followed by endless more resets and powering up until, if I'm lucky, it might finally work. At the least, though, it's 10-15 minutes of this futzing about before I might get lucky.

One other thing: plug it into my PC and the PC doesn't recognize it, it doesn't show in My Computer and doesn't show in eBook Library. Is it a duff file? Who knows? It's the first book I've tried to read and if it causes this much grief, then I say stuff it!

Any last chance ideas out there? Otherwise, it's in the bin and back to paper.
