[QUOTE=gerraldo;445439]I have Vista Home Premium (32bit) and newest model with build 834 firmware. AFAIK build 834 is not known for any new/special bugs...

By following these simple rules I've avoided freezes and such (for all builds):

- just use mobipocket files (you can easily convert PDF, HTML, TXT and DOC to PRC by drag&drop to Mobipocket Reader apps library).

- always manually turn off the reader

I am only using mobipocket books, since I can load them on the Cybook and my Palm Lifedrive (great for reading in the dark) and If I synch the Palm after the Cybook the bookmarks are copied to the Palm. I always turn off manually. Strangely this afternoon I read for two hours without a freeze, maybe the Ghost in the Machine has been exorcised.
