Just curious, why make a PDF? I'd think an LRF would be more efficient. The book I have loaded right now (LRF) is 2,457 pages (in Medium size) so far no problems (on page 1542). IMO for anything but stuff like tech documents that might need it PDF is the worst possible format for ebooks. Heck, some PC's have problems with PDF's when they get that large.

Also Word's converter could be the issue, maybe see if you can find a really long book on Feedbooks and download the Sony formatted PDF to see if it has the same issues. I love the format for pre-press purposes, but for ebooks it's not very good.
