File size may be a factor, but it can't be the only issue. Two of the three "box sets" from Amazon that choked the JBL came in at 1.8 MB, but one was only 0.7 MB.

Meanwhile, I have a couple of Jack Vance's Omnibus (multi-volume) ebooks that I got from Barnes and Noble and worked just fine on the JBL -- The Demon Princes comes in at 3.0 MB, and The Cadwal Chronicles comes in at 3.3 MB.

I think Amazon, and the subsequent conversion, must be part of the picture. Of course, I might have to take a look at the Oz Omnibus, too.
