I have had my BeBook mini for a couple of weeks now and I really like it. I have hit one problem I thought I would put out here for information. There seems to be a problem with the reader for mobi and .prc books that causes the BeBook to lock up at random times. While reading a prc file it would usually freeze while on locked keypad over night and now and then while reading. I had to switch off and on again to fix it.

It is a minor problem in the scheme of things, but I have begun the process of converting my 100 or so mobi books to epub 8-> (thanks to the makers of calibre!) which solves the problem neatly. I think I will still mostly buy mobi as I like way the files look when converted. 2 out of 3 pdf files I tried had paragraph marks at the end of every line which made them hard to read at any but the smallest font size, which is too small for my eyes.

I do wonder if there is a firmware version out there I could switch to that doesn't have this problem, but given how easy the calibre conversion is, it may not be worth the bother.

I was quite relieved to work out the problem was mobi and not the battery or the overall device, so I thought I would post this for others who might have the same worry.
