Is this a known problem? How can I know which PDFs I will be able to read, and which ones to avoid? Or even better, can I solve the problem somehow?
Thanks in advance for any help

You'll need to make sure that the PDF doesn't have any kind of DRM if you want to read it on the Cybook. If it still chokes and causes issues, you can run the file through mobipocket creator to change it to .mobi format, which the Cybook should be fine on.
I will say if the book is only available on BoB in pdf, it probably *does* have DRM and won't be able to be converted.
