Thanks Hadrien. I downloaded the text a few months ago in Mobipocket/Kindle format and noticed in the truncation in late November while reading it on the Kindle2. Then I downloaded it as a PDF to verify that the problem was the source and discovered the text truncated in the same place in Acrobat. After seeing your post I downloaded the text today in ePub format and discovered that the text is complete. I then downloaded a fresh PDF and the problem did not reappear when I opened that copy in… (more)

I have not tried a new Mobipocket/Kindle download, but I am assuming that it would be OK, too, since the PDF is fine. Thanks for looking into it.
@mbrook: which software are you using ? The text is fine but since a single part can be several hundreds page long, some reading systems can choke on it.
This file is corrupt. The text it truncated in Part II, so that the Oxen of the Sun episode is incomplete and the Circe episode is missing. The text picks up Part III after the truncation.
This ePub file works perfectly well on DE desktop or Stanza though. The main problem here is that Adobe introduced a limit to the size of a flow on their mobile port of DE for the Sony PRS-505/700. They don't support flows that are 300k. On Feedbooks, we follow the structure of the book, and switch to a new flow whenever there's a page break. In Ulysses, there's hardly any page breaks aside those between the different parts: that's why some of the flows are 300k.

We could add page breaks in the middle of the text to make sure that the flows are small enough, but for the moment we've decided to keep the original structure of the book rather than using page breaks where they should be none.
FYI, as of 12-Mar-2009, the ePub version of this file did not work for on my Sony Reader PRS-505, but the Sony Reader PDF version works perfectly. Every other ePub file from feedbooks works perfectly for me except this one.
