I converted the html version of Rute, the Linux Administrator Manual (rute.html.tar.bz2) to epub, and the result appeared excellent in calibre's ebook-viewer.

But when I copied the epub to both my ereaders, a Nook Glowlight and Sony PRS-300, both have extreme difficulty with the file. Both will show some pages in the file, and they both will show the exact same set of pages. But both fail to respond when I try to access other pages, whether by Go To or page-turn, and instead exit the file completely and return to their Library page. Both readers choke on the exact same set of pages also.

I've examined these "bad" pages in ebook-viewer and can see nothing exceptional about them. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might cause this reaction?
