Hi,
I tried loading some of the available books. Specifically, The Ghost Brigades, Perdido Street Station, and The Scar.
All of them load in Adobe DE, but none load on the PRS-505. ("Invalid page" error).
Looking at the epub files themselves, they seem to have many errors.
Here's the output from epubcheck:

The individual html files seem small enough, so this isn't about the 300kb file size limit.
Has anyone else succeeded in loading these books onto the Sony Reader?
I have contacted Macmillan about the issue and will post updates on this thread.
