Corrupt epubs on Mac?

Hi, is anyone having problems with corrupt books now that the Sony store has switched over to epub? On my Mac, I've got 3.1.00.12070 installed and purchased 3 books after the epub switch. One works fine, two show up as corrupt in the reader software and when I try to transfer them to the reader, the software just hangs and refuses to transfer them.

If I try to download these on my Windows 7 box, they all download correctly and are viewable in the software but 2 books show up as corrupt when loaded to the reader (Sony Pocket reader).

Sony is no help, they said there's something wrong with the books, and would email me back in a week even though they work in Windows 7.

Anyway, since I had problems with 2 books on the Mac and since they download correctly on a PC (but still don't work on a reader) I've stripped the DRM from them and converted them to LRF which seems to be faster and just works better. I guess I won't be buying too many more books unless they can get this straightened out.

Update: ok, found this https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65253

Guess I'm not the only one...
