Just to weigh in I have a similar issue with some epub books. The two I got from FictionWise both fail, and indeed these are over 2mb. I bought the latest Jack Reacher from WHSmug (bloody expensive) and it is a more normal size and worked fine. AFAIK mine is not the oldest model 500mb internal?

My workaround for the two failing books was to convert them in calibre to pdf (not ideal as the font is too small), having first liberated them from drm hell.

I've not had the need to attempt it - but I wonder what would happen if the font files were removed from the ePub envelope.

Another choice would be to use Calibre and create a mobi file and see what that does when it is converted back into ePub ...

Saying that, though, a purchased book ought to work correctly no matter the device !
