I have the Sony PRS-505 (Canada) and it works fine if I purchase from Sony's online bookstore.

However, I recently created a text file, which I then edited using "Sigil 0.1.8" and saved it as an EPUB file. When I use Calibre to transfer this file to the PRS-505 as a LRF file, it will show up title and all, and I can read it although the formatting is a bit screwy.

However, if I try to transfer the file as an EPUB file and then try to read the book on the PRS-505 I get an error saying "Page Error" (inside a large triangle).

I thought the PRS-505 was able to directly read EPUB files? Since I can still purchase and read EPUB books from Sony's bookstore, I assume it's not because I lack authorization or something of that sort.

What am I doing wrong? Please help!
