I had read that one reason certain ePubs were so large was because of the large font files included, which is why I had hopes this might solve my problem. Unfortunately I upgraded to the new firmware and it still exhibits the same bootup loop on large ePUB books.

I have been able to read these books by converting them to mobi in Calibre and then converting them back to ePUB. It occurs to me that if I am going to do that, maybe I should have stayed at the 1.x firware, but some ePUBs work without having to jump through these hoops.

Does anyone know of a way to remove the fonts from an ePUB file without converting to mobi and then back to ePUB?
