Are you sure it is the size of the file? I just figured out that if the Title metadata has a : in it, the Kindle browser won't download the file. I am not sure why IE automatically converts this, but the Kindle 3 browser does not.

I have changed the metadata on a couple to omit the :, but is there a way for the web server to automatically substitue a - (or even an _ like the program itself does for file names)?

PS: I just figured out I can select all titles and use the search and replace (experimental) feature to replace the : with -. Still might be better to have this in the web server, but it might help temporarily.
