I downloaded the Kindle format of that book from Project Gutenberg. I then sideloaded the file (pg38497-images-kf8.mobi) to my Oasis 2 running the latest 5.15.1 firmware via USB. Attempting to open it produces the "Unable to Open Item" error as previously reported.

The internal metadata shows it to be in KF8 format, created using calibre version 4.17.0 on October 17, 2022. Looking at the file shows the typical minor structural errors that calibre produces for Kindle formats. I will look into this further to see whether I can determine what specifically in that file leads to this error.
