From reading in this forum, the culprit is almost exclusively a badly formatted ePub.
And/or the .db file on the device is corrupt - that happened to me when I owned a sony. I had to go in via windows + USB to prose device folders and delete the culprit; resetting device was not clearing it
I forget the exact name & location but there shoudl only be the one database .db file on there.
NB you will all lose notes, annotations, last page read .. if you wipe that.. device will build a clean empty one on restart.

I also had an instance of the "badly formatted" book. the epub code was valid : it passed flightcheck + worked in sigil, but there was one very complex line with lots of embedded styles which the reader could not digest: it would choke /crash on that page until I manually simplified it.

as I recall - it has been a while- the quick way to test a suspect book is to open it on PC in ADE ( 1.7). if it works there it should work on sony, if ADE crashes, Sony will also crash.
