Yes, it is a bit strange. I will have a look and see if I can find out why this is.

i have only just got my story yesterday and updated the firmware today. one of the features that i really liked was the fact that i could enlarge the font. now i cannot do that. when i took the reflow off, some of the sentences were right at the top or bottom of the page and i couldn’t read them.
if anyone know how to enlarge the font with the reflow on, please let us know!

It occurs with pdfs, i have only come across it once while zooming into the pdf and then rotating it to landscape.

on other note, how are handling the very small text in pdfs with reflow on, all i can do is zoom in. There is not any other option to change the size of text.

I have not had any freezes while reading any documents yet but now that you mention it I will be more observant.

Has anyone noticed any trends with the freezes? ie: it does occur with specific book formats or styles or books etc…

Do you observe any noticeable changes in upgrading to 1.50? i hear that readers are getting frozen

Thanks a lot spgennard for your comment.Indeed it was a transfer problem.The initial ebook.hex file i downloaded was corrupted .I downloaded a couple of times the ebook.hex and firmware update went succesfull.

I guess the first thing to check is to see if the file downloaded is the same, using my mac, I used sum and md5 commands to generate some checksums, along with a little ‘ls -l’ to give you an indication of the size of the file

If the files are the same, then I can only conclude it is a transfer problem or a faultly device
