Every time I turn a page prs 505 keeps fomatting

I charged my reader sony prs 505 reader yesterday, and when I was reading last night every time I turned a page the reader kept formatting on me, and when I changed the font size the screen goes white and the reader starts up again very frustrating does anyone have an idea of what may be wrong. I have tried to reset it but it is still the same

It's often a problem with the ebook. I would delete the book you are reading and see if that corrects it.

If you have recently added multiple books, you may have to delete them all and add them back one at a time until you find the problem book.

Many thanks that's what I ended up doing i had to delete several of the books, as it wasn't just the book I was reading added them back on and all working perfect now.

Angry I did that

But it lasted 40 pages and it now formats every page again. I think that prs+ software is defective!!!!

Presuming you are talking about a BBeB/LRF book.

Please start your PRS in "Safe-Mode".
Shutdown, connect to USB, Power-On, get the USB-Connected Message, disconnect form USB.
You should get the standard-Sony-UI.

Retry your book. If it is still formating, then
A) the book may be badly formated
B) your IM (Intermal Memory) may be corrupted

Possible solutions:
Backup the books, Run chkdsk on IM or format it
Try converting the book to epub as suggest in this thread, btw no need to habe PRS+ installed to do this.

And if you want help, it is a good idea to provide more information... book details, format, whether resized... in fact everything about the situation. Mark has mentioned the most likely problems but without more information...

It is unlikely that the PRS+ is the problem as the thousands of us using it just might have noticed it by now but if you decide that is the case then just restore to original Sony settings...
