I can read the files without a problem on my PC.

I'm trying to work out whether this is a fault of Routledge-Taylor&Francis / MobiPocket or of the Cybook, or a combination of both.

Here are two examples of files that cause my Cybook to hang:

http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/...sp?BookID=7726

Any advice appreciated.

What size are these ebooks? If they're, like, 3-5MBytes in size, that may be a good indication they've got huge pictures in them and the Cybook may well be choking at some point. Do you get them to open and page forward to a cetain point, or do they just choke almost immediately upon opening? You might want to open them up on your PC and take a look inside them.
