Tables cutting off midriff

I've been searching through this forum to find the solution, but I'm a bit stumped.

I have a list of chronological events, which in the print book is in two columns. Very short bits of info, with dates.

I tried doing two floating text boxes, where one entire column was set with

float: left;
width: 45%;

and the other for right sided values, with sufficient padding between them. That didn't work at all in Adobe digital editions, as it stripped out everything except my italics.

Next I tried a table, but that leaves a huge amount of space between my page title, and when I scroll down, I only see one page of data.

Is there a limit to how much information I can put in a table? Or is a table just twitchy in ADE?

From the style sheet:
Code:
table, td, th
  {
  border:none;
  }
  td
  {
   vertical-align:top;
  }
The code in the book:
Code:
 <table>
      <tr>
        <td>blah x 30</td>
 <td>blah x 37</td>
</tr>
</table>
