I've reported before that my PB360 started freezing or spontaneously rebooting. It was suggested a faulty battery in connection with a battery indicator bug (the battery indicator never seems to show the battery less than half or three quarters full) might be the cause.

But I'm wondering. This morning it's started locking up again. Basically, I can't read a couple of pages without it freezing again.
But I've noticed it seems to freeze particulary when I'm trying to read a lengthy book -- in this case, a Dutch translation of Stendhal's Chartreuse de Parme. Just now it also froze when I tried to leaf through the French version of the same.

But just before that, I'd leaved through a couple of chapters of Shelley's Frankenstein without problems, and also through a 40 pages short story.

Does the PB generally have more trouble with lengthy books and/or huge files? (Not that the files are all that big: 511 Kb for the French original, 1.4 Mb for the Dutch translation.)

Or does FBreader (the 1.81 version) have problems with that?

In any case, I'm getting pretty annoyed with the whole thing.
