Did the book have a large number of anchor tags in the body text by any chance?

I have run into a similar situation with books on my kobo before (epub, using RMSDK) where the book displays fine up to a certain point, then without warning closes and marks the book finished. This will always happen at the same point in that book if you try to read it again.

The first couple of times it happened, I reconverted the book using Calibre. The last instance I had, I looked at the book source, and noticed that every paragraph included something like:
Code:
<a id="1234"></a>
So I removed those tags, and the book then behaved itself perfectly on the kobo.

So I think there may be some issue with RMSDK choking on a large number of links/anchor tags, although I can't be certain.


EDIT: The same books would read perfectly fine of the PC version of ADE.
