Sony PRS-505 Resets When Viewing Calibre Generated Content
I have tested Calibre to generate and read RSS type content both from the built in recipes and some custom content ... I love the concept and would use it regularly .... BUT ...
On pretty much every example of generated content, my Sony PRS-505 crashes and resets randomly after reading a few pages of Calibre generated content. The screen just goes blank and the Sony "starting up" screen appears. This never happens with normal ebook content. I have tried setting the output format for Calibre to be EPUB and LRF with the same results. I am using Calibre rev 0.4.103 but this occurred on the previous revision also. I still use the Sony eBook library to transfer books to the reader but very rarely and never at the same time as running Calibre. Anything I can try before giving up on Calibre? |

There's likely something wrong with your reader. One thing that might help is to use the LRF format and the sony connect software to upload the generated files to your reader.

I have the same problem. Books transferred with Calibre take a long time to open on the Reader and frequently cause it to crash. If I send the same book using the Sony s/w it opens immediately and no crashes. I am using a UK Reader with the latest firmware. I suspect the Sony Lib s/w is doing some kind of conversion in the transfer?

Are you sure it "crashed"? Perhaps you just weren't patient enough to wait for it to finish indexing. It only takes a minute or so for your average size book. BOb |
