[ThePage]

Did NOT, unfortunately find any promising threads, but Calibre may have taken care of at least part of it in the process of adding the books to the catalog.

Went to check a book in detail after finding this out and discovered that one of the more problematic had improved - it only seemed to show the first few pages before being added to Calibre, which might have been due to the title page reoccurring at the point that it stopped showing pages before.

Now it shows the title page twice, and keeps going, so it should be usable, despite looking exceedingly weird. Will check the others and see what I've got.

It could be that converting to ePub will allow fixing most of the difficulties, I HOPE!
