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?
I know what your problem is. The problem is that your ePub has errors. You have to go into the Calibre editor and fix the errors. RMSDK (reading software on the T1) is encountering the errors and not displaying your ePub correctly. You will need to install the epubcheck plugin and using both the Calibre editor's error checker and epubcheck, you have to get both to say there are no errors.

If you don't know HTML/CSS, now's a good time to learn.
