Un-DRMed ePubs, CoolReader, and the clock

I am currently reading three ebooks on my Pocket Pro. Each book seems to behave differently with regard to CoolReader and and the clock.

First off, Steven Lake's The Oort Perimeter: works fine under CoolReader with any clock setting.

Then there's my first Star Trek ebook to be purchased since the Agency 5 settled with Books On Board (sorry, couldn't keep waiting for EZRead to have them up and available), Sand and Stars: I stripped the DRM and did a lot of editing of the .css and .html files. If I read it under CoolReader just after turning the Pocket Pro on, before the clock has been set, I have no problem. However, if I set the clock, I can no longer read it--it either freezes the liseuse , or just goes back to the list of books.

And there's my second, and other, Star Trek book that I'm currently reading, the Millennium omnibus: Again, I stripped the DRM, did a lot less editing (but still had to do some), but now it won't work at all under CoolReader--if I set the clock, it behaves the same way as Sand and Stars; if I don't set the clock, it just goes back to the list of books. The book works fine, however, under ADE, which is how I have it set up currently.

Has anyone else come across a similar situation? Any possible solutions? Right now, I have an unset clock, and Millennium is configured to work under ADE. However, I would like to get them both working normally and under CoolReader.
