I have an encountered a rather odd problem, and have no choice but to appeal to the experts here to see if anyone else has ever seen something similar.

I created an epub from a website with calibre, and loaded it onto my week-old 505. I can open it on the ereader, and even read the first few pages and the table of contents. But when I reach the main body of the document, the 505 says it's "formatting" the document - and then it re-boots!

Bizarre and replicable. The book appears to be perfectly valid and viewable within calibre. Anyone seen anything like this? Can certain books reboot the machine?

For those who care, here are the details:
I'm running a "customized" 505 that is otherwise behaving normally. I used web2disk on this website: "http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/06/magazine/06Economic-t.html?em=&pagewanted=print", creating an xhtml file that I then converted into an epub with the calibre gui.

This is a curiousity more than a problem. I can obviously create a readable document through other means.

Thanks + cheers!
