700 Restarting Due to Bad Book Format?
Hello All,
I am very frustrated and would apreciate any help. I got a PRS-700 and started loading a larg collection of books I have using Calibre. The first one hundred book loaded on to my Kingston 16GB card fine. When I started loading another 100 or so I unhooked my reader and it just kept restarting when try to load all the books. I assumed it was a bad SD card and tried loading the books into the main memory. Same thing happened. I now assume it to be a bad formatted book. The books are mostly epub and pdfs with a few LRFs and RTFs. Is there a format that is prone to cause the reader to keep rebooting? or is this another issue altogether? I would appreciate anyone with 700 experience to possibly shed some light......thanks in advance. |

I had something similar happen when my 505 was low on power. dwanthny is probably right and you've got a toxic book, but a poke of the reset button and a good charge fixed my problem.

This may not be a bad book.
I've seen my PRS-300 fairly consistently reboot when switching book format (for instance, when opening an LRF after reading a string of epubs, or vice versa). I picture the device somehow needed to free up something in memory to change readers. I've avoided this by keeping most of my reading as epubs! |
