The sentences and paragraphs are all over the place. There are gaps in pargraphs; every time there should be a double 'l' one is missing and replaced by a gap in the word.

Sometimes there are only a few words on a page, etc. etc.

It seems to me that you have probably obtained PDF format ebooks, and have tried converting them to ePub with Calibre.

This is not going to work very well, as you have found, as PDF is not very good as an intermediate format - it's very difficult to convert it into another ebook format without errors.

I suggest that you try with an ebook that's actually an ePub by design, rather than a conversion from a PDF.

There are lots of free ePubs here at mobileread you could try, to see what ePubs should work like on your Sony. Why not give my Omnibus of Kidnapped/Catriona a go: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58419
