I think something has changed in the library software (in a very bad way).

I did a Format Internal Memory on my 505. The 505 says there are no books on the device.

I download Book A (LRF) from the library to the device. The 505 does a format on Book A first time I open it.

I download Book B (LRF) from the library to the device. The 505 does a format on Book B first time I open it.

Both A and B were opened in the Library software prior to downloading.

I delete B from the library software. Copy B from the 505 to Library software. delete B on the 505. Copy the B back to the 505. The 505 does a format on Book B. Open Book A on the 505 and the 505 does a format on Book A!

So it looks to me like whenever I transfer an LRF book from the Library to the 505, the 505 will want to reformat ALL books.

When I transfer Book C (EPub) from the library to the device, it appears as though no formatting is needed on the 505.
