The kind of errors you describe sound very much like a faulty decryption of a mobipocket book, due to failure to handle trailing characters correctly. If you have removed the DRM from the ebook, do check the original DRMed copy.

If the original DRMed copy is OK, try removing the DRM again using the very latest tools available at Apprentice Alf's blog.

If the de-drmed copy still has faults that the original doesn't after using the latest tools, I suspect that the people at Apprentice Alf's blog would very much like to hear about it.
