yes, that fixes the specific issue, but the more general question is who/ what was at fault here.

sony/ ADE software for not coping with a sample chapter embedded within .ofp; calibre for putting it there via metadata download; the publisher for putting it up on amazon....some combination of all 3 ???

i did google .ofp spec but found nothing specifically allowing or disallowing book text extracts.

PS it was also very frustrating - I investigated so many "wrong" answers before looking at .ofp. I converted the book into & out of .mobi, of .rtf, of .txt, I crawled through all the code & css in sigil looking for culprits, I reformatted my Sony drive even! - losing all my bookmarks in the process, thinking that is must be a hardware issue after converting to / from .txt & still seeing the bug!
