and in the OPF:

<dc:identifier id="uuid_id">urn:uuid:499a2178-2c3b-4bce-9f72-03b3be940b3f</dc:identifier>
Yes, that's what I mean. I'm reasonably sure this is what caused the problems for me. In the first case, the reader would return to the home screen as soon as I tried turning the page past the cover. This happened with a few books in the series (I didn't test all), and it was fixed when I made sure both identifiers were equal (although I probably made some other small changes at the same time).

In the second case I got a black screen when I tried to go anywhere from the TOC, but turning pages worked fine. Again, changing the identifiers has fixed it.

Specifically, it had this (in OPF and NCX, respectively):

Code:
<dc:identifier xmlns:opf="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" id="ean" opf:scheme="ISBN">EPUB9782072468377-54671</dc:identifier>
<meta name="dtb:uid" content="9782072468377-54671" />
And I just changed it to:

Code:
<dc:identifier xmlns:opf="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" id="ean" opf:scheme="ISBN">EPUB9782072468377-54671</dc:identifier>
<meta name="dtb:uid" content="EPUB9782072468377-54671" />
(but fixing a few mistakes in the text as well)

Maybe it was re-compressing the books or re-uploading them what did it, though.

Could you try with 3.5.0 to see if it's actually something fixed in the firmware or the bug is elsewhere?
