If the books are in epub format and when you view them in the calibre viewer they look fine then you are most likely running into a internal (to the epub) html size restriction.

Since ereaders have limited memory and processing power Adobe created their ePub renderer to process epub books in chucks no larger then 300k in size. Many public domain books, internally, will be just one large lump of html. These books work on your computer (big memory lots of power) but fail on a ereader.

To fix this calibre defaults to breaking the internal html into chunks of no more than 260k during conversion. If you do a epub to epub conversion calibre will break up the internal code into bite size chunks your ereader can process.
