There is an issue with
Ozma of Oz in Chapter 4, "Tiktok the Machine Man": the two sections that detail the contents of Tiktok's instructions are each a single non-breaking line that is roughly three times the size of the page when viewed in Calibre's E-book Viewer. It comes out so wide on my PRS-505 that I thought the text was missing until I viewed it in Calibre.
Here are the two sections:

With any luck, I'll be picking up a copy of
Ozma of Oz from the library tomorrow afternoon and can see how it's supposed to be formatted but I presume that they're supposed to look like cards.
It's quite easy in a forum, but I have no idea how to force this in an epub:
