Try re-downloading the book, after a reset, but give it a different name before pressing enter to start the download. Failing that, you will have to download and unzip it on a pc, unfortunately.
Yes, the problem of the site locking up the bn does often happen on mPower units due to the lower memory and ram management of ce4.2. Even the apex, while it does not lock up, is slow at using the site. For this reason, I have taken to just doing all my book downloading on the pc, putting everything on a thumb drive, then moving the books from there into the "my books" folder of the bn. I then unpack them as I read them.
