The only way to get over that point in the book is to skip a page. That is not ideal. What I have resorted to doing is reading the page on either my home computer or work computer.
Last night I got one of these pages and the Bebook crashed. So I read the page on the computer before work so I could continue reading my book on the commute to work. Fucking BAM, 2 pages in to the book on the train and it does it again. I nearly smashed the thing to pieces right there.
I can under no circumstances recommend a Bebook.
Does the Lbook or EZReader do this with Mobi files?

I've had this problem with a few (three, I think) mobipocket books on my Bebook. I've tried running the Hanlin and the LBook software and the result is the same -- there are obviously a few characters or formatting glitches that the software really doesn't like. It's annoying, but I've read scores of mobipocket books on my Bebook, and so far only those few have misbehaved.
I did find with those books that the OpenInkpot software coped with them OK. It's still at an early stage, and has other annoying problems, but if there's a book you're really wanting to read, it might be worth having the "live" version installed on your SD card so you can switch to it if necessary.
