This is really frustrating. The Feedbooks catalog has been an excellent resource; its public domain books are almost always better-formatted than the same book available through Amazon's Kindle store.

I had the same problem. I think there's some problem with their web server prematurely terminating the download and thus corrupting the file. Eventually I got a 'good' copy, which I won't be updating for awhile, or at least I won't replace it until I'm sure the new one is good. The 'good' copy (19Oct2010) is 1,952,488 bytes. One of the bad ones (supposedly successfully downloaded) was only about 450KB. Presumably newer ones should be larger than 1,952,488 bytes.
I checked their Facebook feed and someone else had also reported this problem, which also mysteriously disappeared.
