Frezzes on new chapter

Shrek · 02-10-2009, 02:27 PM

Just got the PRS 505 for xmas and loved it i had some pdf books on my computer and put them on the reader it was great for on the train

However I downloaded my first 2 books from WHSmiths ebook page both are epub files and put them on the reader and was eagerly antisipating a great read on the train next day. when i started the reader and selected the new book the reader froze on the cover page and i couldnt turn it off, eventualy i got it off and when turning it back on it was on the cover page but still frozen, i then did a reset and got to the menu and selected the first chapter which took ages to load then it froze again, i eventualy got it off and back on and it worked well till the next chapter then it froze as i tried to turn the page, I have noticed that there is a picture at the start of every chapter so will this cause the problem? the firmware i have is 1.2.0.18050.Please help i am sure there has been other people with this problem i hope.

This sounds like a corrupt file. Send waterstones an email and in the meantime delete the file off your Reader.
