Hopefully one of you can help me with this, it's driving me nuts.

Problem: MS Reader gives this error 'Microsoft Reader is no longer able to access the book', when I press the button to turn the page. The only way to progress past this page is to return to the library, reselect the title, then return to farthest read. This only happens if the unit has been in stanby. Once I have gone out to the library and back into the book, I can read as long as I like (I have tested this up to 1.5 hours) with no problem. If I go into standby, even briefly, the error will return anywhere from immediately to 5 minutes.

Device and software info: This is a relatively new (about 6 weeks) x51v running WM5 (5.1.70 Build 14410.1.1.3). MS Reader is 2.4.1 (build 5323). It is running the A06 firmware. I have enabled the 'server fix' that is required for WM5. The card I am currently using is a SanDisk 512mb, although problem has happend with multiple SD and CF cards. Problem does not happen when book is loaded into onboard storage (I have way too many titles to keep them all onboard).

I'm not willing to load the book I am currently reading into onboard storage from the card everytime. Just call me stubborn. I have read eBooks for years on two x5's and an x50 with no problems; I should be able to make it work here as well.

Let me be clear on one thing: I am not an WM5/x51v hater. Other than this problem, and a disppointing lack of compatiblity in the Bluetooth stack, I really like this PDA. I feel confident that one day Dell and Microsoft will get their (expletive deleted) together. In the meantime, we have only each other.

TIA,
James
