I also had this problem with some material I got off the web for Uni. I have done this before and just imported some texts etc into Sigil to make my own EPUB book - but in this instance it acted like a cold treacle! I had usually just copied a text file and added some basic HTML, but because I used the site's HTML it turned out to be full of unnecessary code (probably the web site was done in MS Word or similar). After stripping out all the rubbish it worked OK. Perhaps the ebook publisher had prepared the EPUB version using some program that used non-standard HTML code and is full of bugs. I think some publishers are having difficulty coping with a different way of presenting material, they are printers not web page designers. Different skills.
