What might happen with a broken book is the importing process failing on that specific book, which you can check in the system logs. But it has a fairly obvious tell: you get the "importing content" screen on eject even when you haven't imported any new content .
There have been cases reported where after reading a particular book, the battery drains. Restart the device and reading something else, and everything is OK. Open that book, read and close it and the battery runs down.

I assume what is happening is that a process gets started for something in the book and it doesn't end. I haven't caught it happening myself, just the occasional report here. And I think a conversion in calibre fixes it. So, it is probably some bad code in the book. I don't think I've seen one recently, so it might have been fixed with other changes.
