I usually purchase books from Books A Million, but every now and then, I'll purchase books from Amazon, usually because I can't find it elsewhere. I've purchased a few books in the past from Amazon and had no issue getting them converted to EPUB so that they would work on my Sony PRS-T1, but I have one right now, Seveneves, that I haven't been able to get to convert right.

When viewed using the Calibre reader, all three formats (AZW3, EPUB and PDF) look fine. But when uploaded to my reader, the EPUB stops at page 4 (which seems to be the end of the Table of Contents) and won't advance further. If I use the 'Navigate Page' feature and navigate to page 5, I get a blank page that has 'Page 2-13 of 712' at the bottom. Going straight to pages 6-13 give the exact same blank page, but navigating to page 14 brings me to the page that should be right after the TOC. The PDF seemed ok at first, but I fairly quickly found some gaps that I determined were quite a bit of missing text buy comparing it with the same copy in the Calibre reader.

Does anyone have any thoughts on why this particular book seems to be giving me trouble, and maybe a way to get it to convert properly?
