I don't have a DR1000S, but the book selection you describe sounds correct. Did you succeed with any ebook? I suggest trying HarryT's
Dickens, Charles: A Tale of Two Cities (Illustrated). v3, 22 Mar 2008. This is a MOBI that should definitely work. Note that you don't get the cover image with FBReader, but there should be a navigable TOC.
If Tale of Two Cities works, then try reading your failing ebooks under
FBReader on a Desktop PC (Windows, Linux, Intel Mac). Note that you can do this on the actual DR1000S files via USB.
Since FBReader copies a processed version of the entire ebook into main memory, very large CHMs can either take a long time to initialize or can hang the device. This should be less likely on the DR1000S than the iLiad, because it has more memory. On the iLiad "large" was above 5 MB, which unfortunately isn't all that large for a CHM. The only issue I am aware of with MOBIs is that "high" compression is not supported. In the Windows version of FBReader you get an error message about unsupported format if you try to open such a MOBI.
