Too many books for the 505 to handle?
I guess a completely trouble-free entry into the world of e-book readers was too much to expect....
Basically I've more or less filled the internal memory of my new 505 with some 350+ old classics and favourites, so I proceeded to stick about the same number of books onto the 8GB SDHC card I got at the same time. Trouble is, the reader appears unable to handle that many books. It reads the internal memory fine, but if I insert the card it reads and reads and reads and then it just reboots and the same happens again and again until the battery runs out.
Does anyone else have this problem and if so, is there a fix? It's not that it's a huge problem; I just have to exercise a little more discipline than I though where book selections are concerned. It is annoying though, considering the 505 is/was advertised as being capable of handling SDHC cards up to 32GB....
I've upgraded the firmware to the latest RC version of PRS+, but without any change to the performance where this problem is concerned. The reader manages ok with a smaller collection of books loaded onto the card (I tried successfully with 75 books loaded), but that rather takes the point out of having a hefty memory card.
Anyway, if somebody out there has a solution or suggestions, I'd be very grateful indeed.
