I would be very grateful if someone here can offer me advice on this issue:

I have a book where I can page through the first 10% or so of the book, and all the pages work just fine. But when I get to a specific page, my reader throws a "Page Error!" message. Once the book gets in this state, I can't get back to the functioning pages without deleting the book from the reader, and re-loading it from Calibre, and starting over.

This happens on the same page, on both my PRS-350 and my PRS-650.

The book is in ePub format. I converted it to ePub from a Topaz format book, using Calibre. It's rather large, 6.6MB in size.

The ePub works just fine when I view it in the viewer in Calibre. I don't see anything strange about it.

I brought it up in the tweak ePub area in Calibre and rebuilt the ePub to no avail.

So then I installed Sigil and used that to examine the book. I can't see any difference between the html file for the last working page and the html file for the first non-working page.

Note that while I have some rudimentary knowledge of html I am hardly an expert, and I've never worked with Sigil before - I downloaded it specifically to try to fix this book. I found a "Validate ePub" button in Sigil and tried it; it did not find any errors.

The TOC in this book is a little funny; if you click on a chapter, it takes you to the page before that chapter starts. Therefore I tried running the "Generate TOC from headings" tool in Sigil, and re-saved after doing so. I saved the ePub under a new name and imported it to Calibre, and sent it to my device, and the error remains.

Does anyone have any advice about this error? I'm guessing it's fairly generic. Is there any sort of a debug log, that might tell me more details about it? Are there any known common issues in normal ePub files, that can choke the Sony readers?

Thanks!
