As a purely mental exercise, I was trying to think of how these devices could be improved to avoid this *type* of situation, (without addressing whatever the prloblem with this particular file.) I think e-readers should have an 'intake' folder, where files are scanned, (then moved to storage folder when the device has finished indexing/scanning/whatever.). The intake folder itself can be deleted during the boot process, so any books that the device can *not* ingest will not be left hanging around.
