Some AZW3 books sent from Calibre to the Voyage do two strange things - when pulling up a book's menu on the home screen "Search This Book" is greyed out, & when first opening a book "About This Book" doesn't pop up automatically. Some books work fine while others do this, and the two strange things always occur together. One book did this and then, after putzing around with it in Calibre for another reason before reloading it to the Voyage, it worked fine, but I can't remember what exactly I did and I haven't been able to replicate it.

I've generally been doing the same things for each book if not always in the same order. Basically, I-

-Import book and fix metadata, including mobi-asin
-Embed metadata/convert
-Use Quality Check to fix asin
-Add to Voyage

What's causing this to happen?
