505 stability
It seems as though my 505 has become less stable. I'm getting quite a few crashes.

I've had my 505 for about 9 months, and it has crashed maybe three times prior to last week. Starting last week, since I started using the new library software, I've had maybe ten crashes.

I only use internal memory. I have 101 books on the reader. I'm mainly using LRF/LRX. The charge indicator has shown 2 to 4 bars.

It seems to happen most often when I open a book (for the "first" time). It will show the busy graphic, and then the reader resets. When I open up the same book again, it shows the busy graphic, and then the book opens successfully. After the crash, I loose my most recent bookmarks and book locations.

It doesn't seem to happen during normal reading.

Has anyone had similar experiences? Would doing a "full" reset help (deleting all books, bookmarks, ...)? Is there a way to do a full reset?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John
