[2.1] 300/505: fails to format LRF -> Rebooting when press size(+) button

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Your model / PRS+ version?
Sony PRS-505 / PRS+ 2.1.01alpha
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Open book for reading (LRF book format)
2.Press size(+) button
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
this should increase the font, and it happens when formating from (S) to (M), 
but from (M) to (L) - reader hangs and reboot.
In PRS+ settings->Book Viewer set Default Scale to Medium, book opens with 
Medium size, but when i press (+) to format to Large it hangs and reboot, same 
from Large to Small.
If i set Default Scale to any size and set ather sizes to Disabled, pressing 
(+) button takes no effect.

Hi,
thanks for reporting.

Will this happen with every LRF-book, or just with a specific one?
Are you using the LRF-Text-Scale-Option? Assigning other values to S/M/L ?

Clearing the history and bookmarks after a crash is "normal" behaviour, as 
these informations are cached in memory and only saved at regular shut-down.

Hi, I have tried about 10 books, all the same.
LRF-Text-Scale-Option all on defaults.

i try EPUB, its works fine, but on Large font looks awfully

Ok, got it once while testing with my 505.
Reader restarted while formating a (previously not opened) LRF-file from M to L

But after the restart (again with current PRS+ 2.1.beta-pack) the reformat was 
done fine for two files in succession.

Might be a memory-problem?

Well, its happens on three different readers, two 505 and one 300.
can it be book converting problem? i use calibre to manage my library, convert 
books from FB2 to LRF.

Technical details of LRF format was never published and to my knowledge all 
available converters are results of reverse engineering.
The only one converter that I know that was never reported to produce erroneous 
output is this one, by obelix (uses fb2 as source):

Ok, i have tried this fb2lrf_cm converter, its works fine, better quality than 
calibre, and on my 505 books opens and pages turns almost without delay.
So i assume its with calibre converter something wrong.
Thank you for your help
cheers

Thx,
so I'm closeing the issue, cause the LRF in my initial test is very likely also 
produced by calibre.
