Well perhaps it should say given up reading epub on my Cybook.
The final straw seems to be these 2mb books that won't open in the Cybook (reboot issue), I did work around by converting to PDF but then last night a book I was halfway through refused to open and shut the reader down. As Geoff on here said the reason these books are so big is the embedded fonts - what's wrong with the ones on my reader I CHOOSE to use? I converted them to mobi and reflashed the firmware to 1.5 the offending books are now a more typical 500mb and read (and look fine!).
I was trying to like the epub thing, realising that most of my epubs were converted mobi so assumed short comings was down to that. But the one I bought and read seemed to offer me nothing except stupid page numbers and just didn't look right which ever font I try to use (embedded fonts again?).
So now I have all my original mobi books tidied up in calibre and the epub ones I bought again tidied in calibre and converted - (BTW if I pay loads for a book, why can't they even put a decent cover with it?). Dictionary lookup, bookmarks, the nice little progress bar and pages that look like they were designed to be read on a screen. This last thre reason I have always disliked PDF and dispair at the fact the people behind such a dumb format are taking over the world again.
Of course none of this would be possible without the amazing work of Kovid Goyal (suitably rewarded via a paypal dono), those wonderful bloggers and scripters that have given me the ability to liberate my books to use as I wish, and of course all you tireless forum folk who are forever available with helpful and useful advice.
