Thank you for your help. The meta tag was the problem, but by the time the file is open in Sigil it is too late to fix it.

I found out I could open the epub with WinZip, and then use XML Notepad to edit the contents. I used this to delete the meta tag from each chapter, and then Sigil could open and display the file properly.

One thing I noticed is that the original file contained the encoding="UTF-8", but after opening it in Sigil it was not visible in the code view. Is this normal?

Also, why does the meta tag confuse Sigil, but not the Sony Reader?
