I have no experience with this particular eBook, but I'm using several german medical eBooks, some are Mobipocket eBooks, others have a proprietary format. They all start fine from Palm/laucher and do not have to be installed in RAM.

It seems the more 64 MB you use, the more it crash. Is that your experience? If so, install progs on SD-1 may fix it, maybe.
Yes, this definitely will help. And using some Palm backup program. Resco backup works fine, and will restore all of your Palm apps and data in less than 5 seconds (in my case). You will never again have to spend 2 to 3 hours for reinstallation.

Complete reformat of the gvm store and restore from Resco backup takes less time than one single soft reset on my LD. BTW, this kinda has been posted by pushwall before.
