I bought a Kepub called Unix Power Tools from the store. I get the spinning wheel all the time to signify loading whenever I turn the pages. Taking what you said into account, maybe it really is a ebook file issue. Is War and Peace divided into a lot of tiny sections in the file itself? Ie. you only get the number of pages for the sections and not the whole book when you flip through.
