Just come across a weird glitch with my Sony PRS-T1 (unrooted and with latest firmware) .

Upon opening a specific epub, things are fine until I attempt to read any page in the first chapter of the book. Then the sony jumps out of the book and presents the home screen.

I managed to cure this by using Sigil to delete all the html lying between the <body> and </body> tags in the chapter. I pasted the deleted html into a Wordpad document and then copied it back to restore the chapter to its former state. But something must have changed, because the book now displays correctly in the PRS-T1. Maybe there were some unprintable characters in the original epub which caused the PRS-t1 grief? But searching using regex in Sigil didn't reveal anything unusual. So I'm a bit puzzled!

Can anyone shed light on this?
