An interesting reply I got from the Augen forum:

The Adobe epub problem is relatiing to the paging file. A good technical description can be found here:
http://blog.threepress.org/2009/11/2...-ncx-pagelist/
Augen's way of handling a file touched by Adobe is to say, "If it's Adobe, it must be a PDF." Epub "page numbers" can occur anywhere on a page. This is why chunks of text become inaccessible. They're in the netherworld between "pages". The menu that comes up doesn't match the actual file type.
I say "touched by Adobe" rather than DRM'ed, because even a non-DRM'ed epub file will be messed up if it is transferred to "The Book" using Adobe Digital Editions.
Could be a serious issue unless they tackle it directly.
