Thank you David. I attached the epub. I have problems with a lot of other large epubs. It is a problem I didn't have previously though. I'm having to reload my books in a new reader as my previous one was stolen. When I uploaded them to my old er-eader (same brand - same model as the one I am using now: kobo forma), there were no such issues.
As @compurandom said, it is almost definitely a resource issue. Looking at at the book, it has 4435 xhtml files in the manifest that need to be handled. The driver starts a thread for each file and then waits for them to finish. In this case it is probably starting to many for the OS to handle at one time. It probably should be managing this a bit better. I'll try and look at that.

The structure of the book is the issue. I am not a fan of how it was constructed. The reason for the large number of files is that the text for each footnote is in a separate file. And there are a lot of footnotes. Merging the footnotes into a single file for each verse should solve this and should still be usable.
