I have a Sony PRS-650 and I had downloaded the book from A&R in Australia and used the Sony Library software. Any ideas?
I find this is very often a question of punctuation marks which have not been displayed properly. One of my chief suspects is the dash between words, can't remember its proper name - this kind of thing that marks a parenthetical thought.

I thought gutenberg.org books were free of it, but when I replaced the copy of "Emma" which came with my ebookreader with the one from Gutenberg it had the same problem.
