Does anyone else notice the 505 crashes a lot? - Page 3

I've had my 505 since mid July, and read a minimum of two hours every day. All of my books have been converted with Calibre and transferred to the 505 with the Sony software. I have experienced no crashes in that time. Battery life has been excellent.

I've had mine for somewhere about a year now, and have only had one crash, this is with >360 books, all in LRF format.

I've also had it lose my collection info once but that was my fault.

Just to add to my first post, after 3 months of being fine, mine started formatting all books on opening, even though they are transferred by eLibrary, sometimes while formatting it will reboot and lose bookmarks/collections, quick resync gets it all back.......
However, I decided to remove all 5 of the epubs I bought from Waterstones as I don't read them much and will not be buying more (hate the layout and they are slow).....did a quick resync and once I did this all my remaining books magically opened without formatting as they did in the first few months. Might be a coincidence but I'm leaving the epubs off for now.

Mine does the same.
