Epubs opening in one reader but not another is usually a symptom of a non-standard epub. Some readers are just more forgiving when the files aren't quite right.

I notice you are only having problems with the epubs you stripped the drm then edited. Try running the documents through a validator such as http://www.threepress.org/document/epub-validate/, and see if it catches some bad tag or something.
I used the website you suggested, fixed all the errors I could in both Star Trek books, and still have the same problems.

Both Star Trek books had the same error in every .html file (an attribute in a "meta" tag called "value" instead of "content"), plus Sand and Stars had one or two other, easily fixed errors. Now, both files have the same two errors, but so does The Oort Perimeter (both errors having to do with the mimetype file, quite possibly from the Linux (Kubuntu) zip command (CLI)). The Oort Perimeter also has three other errors, only one of which is easily fixable (the unfixable two are both in the same "a" tag--I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with them).

As I said in the first paragraph, I still get the same problems as before; however, I should comment on a new discovery: If I change the time, but not the date, Sand and Stars will work with CoolReader; if I change the date, it won't. Also, Millennium still doesn't work at all under CoolReader; this might, at least in part, be due to its large size--about 2.5MB.

Any other suggestions?
