Thanks yet again for all your hard work, jhowell.

I’ve managed to generate a KFX book which has soft-locked two PW5s (both signature edition). When opening it the device will display a blank screen with no menus available. Locking the device shows the cover, but unlocking it returns to the white screen. The only recourse is a forced restart via button (the restart/screen off dialog does appear before the full reset begins).

The same file opens without issue on an Oasis 3, which is confusing to me because aside from the screen I was under the impression that the PW5 and OA3 are similar if not identical in hardware specifications.

No devices are jailbroken and the behavior is identical on 5.14.2 and 5.14.3.0.1. Previewer, Calibre, and the plugin are running on Intel macOS Monterey 12.4.

The source file before converting is the product of WebToEpub. There is a very large number of ToC entries, around 2250. File size is around 40MB despite the only image being the cover art, but other KFX books I have converted with comparable numbers of ToC entries and as large or larger file size open without issues.

Please let me know if you’re interested in taking a look at the file.
