Well, that fixed it. I'm not sure what the file size limit is but if you have a .txt file and you can't read it on the Sony Reader, you might want to check the encoding. This is what I did to convert the file.

iconv -f ISO_8859-2 -t ASCII -c Alberts-Molecular.Biology.Of.The.Cell.4th.Ed.txt.bak > Alberts-Molecular.Biology.Of.The.Cell.4th.Ed.txt

The -c gets rid of illegal characters. So, problem fixed, happy reading all!!
