It seems to happen more often with books converted from pdf with a lot of images/diagrams... sometimes just closing and reopening the book clears it also cleaning the screen/soft reset has worked a hard reset seems a bit drastic......

While I agree that the epub probably has problems, I have had many instances of a books working again after reopening so I suspect software as well.

I have had at least 10 books that would not work at all (ie. advance pages, go to page etc.) on the T1 but work just fine on the PRS-300 and PRS-350. (and the calibre viewer, kindle reader after conversion to mobi etc.)

I did fix one just to see if it could be done but usually I just switch to another ereader for that book.

I don't understand why these problems are inherent on the T1 when the other Sony readers work fine for the most part. Not exactly leading age tech to put words on a screen.
