I assumed it was a bad SD card and tried loading the books into the main memory. Same thing happened. I now assume it to be a bad formatted book.

The books are mostly epub and pdfs with a few LRFs and RTFs. Is there a format that is prone to cause the reader to keep rebooting? or is this another issue altogether? I would appreciate anyone with 700 experience to possibly shed some light......thanks in advance.
I created an epub of the Beautiful Soup documentation (which is full of html code) and it caused my 505 to reboot. I just deleted the book. I have 1220 ePub books in my Calibre library and I have never had another book cause this. Find the offending book, delete it and move on.
