My other Sony readers have no problem with these books.
Given the fact that many software glitches are still present on the T1 I think it is a little presumptious to put the entire blame on the epub file.

That is not what I am saying. What I am saying that there are standards as defined by the idpf. An ePUB creator should abide those standards and readers should follow those specifications. That means that if an ePUB is according to the specifications, it should work as intended.
As soon as an ePUB deviates from the standards, all bets are off. In case of a deviation it is wrong to say that the reader is faulty, since it is the ePUB. That some readers have a fault tolerance is nice, but the less tolerance the better. Some creators will actually abuse those tolerances.
I am not saying the PRS-T1 is perfect or that it sets the standard. What I am saying that if all readers can read an ePUB that is not according to the specifications but the PRS-T1 cannot, the PRS-T1 is not to blame. The one at fault is than the ePUB.
I don't know if that is the case, since I don't know the ePUB.
