Custom recipe Sony 650 freezing

mcrmama · 01-02-2011, 01:54 PM

I am new to creating a recipe. I made one for chbc news. It worked well but I had to do a soft reset twice this morning while reading. Could this be something I did wrong with my recipe or is it more likely a Sony issue? I used the basic mode so I'm not sure what I could ha e done wrong. One thing I did notice is that the last letter in many lines on the page are cut-off so not sure if that is causing a problem. I did change my Calibre setup to let it know that I was using a Sony reader.

I am thinking it must be the file. I was just reading another one I created from CBC and had no issues. Nothing was cut-off on that one, looks great. So now I just need to figure out how to fix the CHBC feed.

usually this means that there is some HTML markup on the website pages that the SONY cannot handle. Things like tables or <pre> tags or tags with a defined width. You have to add code to the recipe to remove these once you've identified the problem.

Thanks! Your software is wonderful. I am learning a lot. I had never done anything with code before having a reader. It is fun to learn new things though.
