Still running into problems. I sorted out the earlier ones by using Calibre for my book management, and thought I was now good to go...however, I've run into a new one that I can't seem to get fixed.

I bought some books on CD off of Ebay (I know, not the brightest move, but I want my old books available for my PSR300 and don't want to pay a tenner apiece ofr them).

Anyway, I downloaded them (they are in PDF format) and converted them, and put them on the reader.

Problem arises when I go to read them. Unlike all my other books, they come up in what must be a size 1 font, anf the reader enlargment doesn;t have any affect on it. The screen,also greys out like it does when the reader is doing something...

My other books are all fine, so I am assuming it's not a reader problem, but cannot figure out what is causing this. THe book seller suggested I increase the size in the "look and feel" section of Calibre, which I did, but it had no effect, and the reader still can't enlarge the text.

I'm stumped now. I'm hoping someone else has had this problem and can tell me what's going on, and how to fix it.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

Cheers,

Greg
