Well, my son's PPro is in and working, but he is reporting multiple crashes per day. I'm not concerned yet. I knew I was getting an early generation device. I thought I'd tap into the collective experience as I try to track down the cause. I know that most of you haven't reported similar issues, so I assume its something specific to my situation. So let me describe my situation:
1) I am using just the built-in memory. (See the post:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60413 ; I suspect that the SD card may be a battery drain problem.)
2) I have between 300 and 400 books stored on the built-in memory, but I still have plenty of memory left.
3) All of the books are stored in .mobi format.
4) The particular books being read are from Baen: Weber's War God (Oath of Swords) book one and two.
5) However, the books themselves were mobi books that calibre created. In order to update the meta-information I took the original DRM-free Baen book and modified the meta-information and then created a new mobi book.
I'm assuming that the problem lies somewhere in the steps above.
As a first step, I'll try converting the books to epub and reading them in that format. Next, I'll try the original books from Baen (ie no conversion through Calibre). Depending on what I find my trouble shooting steps might head different ways.
Anyway, I'm hoping you will report your crash experiences both negative and positive. I'm also looking to hear about the situation (book formats, sources of books, memory locations, etc) you've used when the system has either crashed or not crashed. I hope this'll shortcut my diagnosis process.
Thx,
