I don't think I've seen these issues at all in the past 2-1/2 years with my 500 or 505 but then I rarely read epubs. I suppose the point of my question is really, "Should I always test the validity of an epub before loading it onto my device or am I at a similar (low) risk with BBeB format books (for which I've never had a problem)?"

The Sony does seem to have less "resilience" to coding errors than other ePub devices - probably because it has the oldest implementation of the ePub reader of any device. Books which have problems on the Sony work flawlessly on other devices. Of course, it's easy to say "but books shouldn't have coding errors", and that's true, but they can easily happen with the best will in the world.
LRF files don't seem to have the same issues.
