If only one or two books, they have a problem.
This is my guess as well, I've seen this on public domain books but also on purchased books, where the 500 page book is all within one .html file. Those always take a long time to load, a few wouldn't load at all until I broke them up into more reasonable size pages.

Oversized (usually needlessly) or a large amount of images within the book might cause it as well.

See if it happens on all books or just a few problem books. You can edit them either in Calibre or Sigil (I prefer Sigil but probably only because I'm more familiar with it) to break up those huge files and reduce the size of the images if that is indeed the problem.
