Hi All,

I've just brought a PRS 505 (I know, just as the new ones are available for pre-order in the UK!) and love the device.

BUT, I'm hating the software to sync my books to it. I'm on Windows 7 and OS X Tiger and have tried it on both and get the same results. Over the years I've collected a fair number of ebooks in PDF format and I wanted to put most of them on my device. In total they weigh in at around 170MB.

So Added them to the library no problem, then when I try syncing the PRS with the library (OS X or Windows), the library freezes. With the OS eventually popping up a " the app has stopped responding/working" type message.

Is this normal? Should I only be syncing one book at a time? Do people not use the internal memory?

This has seriously put me off the PRS and I'm thinking of taking it back

Thanks in advance
John
