From @liza at Threepress:
"EpubCheck’s lesser-known companion checks for additional issues like content documents that exceed 300K, which can’t be loaded on the Sony Reader."

Staying below 300kB for a XHTML chunk is not all that is required to be readable on the Sony Reader. For relatively image-heavy ePubs, you also need to stay below a certain (to me unknown) total page size. Maybe somebody can indicate how large a page + inline images can be for successful rendering on various readers.
(I ran into this problem with this sample ePub: http://www.gutenberg.ph/previews/witte/Planten.epub)
