Sony PR505 formatting problem

Hi, Newbie here, I wonder if anyone can help. I Bought my 505 from Waterstones last thursday, everything seems fine when I download the BBC news feed with calibre and tranfer it to the reader, the problem occurs when I try to access the feed. I get the message formatting then after about a min the reader resets itself. I have tried this for a few days with the same result. I have been able to transfer a few books a read them ok. Thanks for reading this.

Formatting problem

I have resolved the problem by downloading the BBC newsfeed with calibre then I used the Sony Ebook library software to transfer the feed to the reader. A bit messy, but it did allow me to read the feed.

Not really messy. Actually, it's quite a good solution. Because that way you do not have to wait while the reader does the pagination for you.
