I think that I recall the Tirwal firmware being configurable as to which reader program reads EPUB, but one way to force the the use of CoolReader is to rename the file to filename.epub.fb2.
You've lost me here. I've got no idea what this CoolReader is and how I can get it. I use the Hanlin firmware at the moment. Is CoolReader firmware/a format/???
What do I do to get CoolReader and how do I install it and, and ......????

It is very difficult to debug a MOBI/PRC problem since the file is not editable in any way that I know of. The Hanlin MOBI reader software seems to abort very easily if there is a character or formatting code in the MOBI file that it does not understand. I much prefer FB2 as a reading format, because it can be edited or corrected with any plain text editor. CoolReader is usually the default reader for FB2 files, and it is a VERY configurable reader program. It is also easy to convert FB2 to EPUB using the FB2EPUB program.
They seem to work in the Windows PC MOBIPOCKET reader, but if they are crashing your Hanlin device there is probably something in the files that the Hanlin reader can not understand.
No, I don't think that's true in this case. The Hanlin crashes on pages I can read when I reset it, It crashes when the battery is 1 block down, it crashes when I use an sd-card etc. When the file crashes because of strange formatting codes, you can see it in the mobireader on the pc as an little block. At least, that's my experience.
But that's not important if there are better files, formats and firmware to use.

I would very much like to try your suggestions, if only I understood them.....
