nothing like the OP's thumbnail image. where some page-break-before or page-break-after code seems to have gone walkabout.

It would depend, I believe, on the markup used for those paragraphs. I still say that this is a consequence of the viewer converting internally. If the formatting errors were present in dedicated MOBI viewers and/or devices, I'd be less sure, but this looks like a done deal.

I'm kinda hoping that amazon will have to add epub support eventually, maybe in Kindle 4, & mobi can then just fade away, like LIT.doesn't make great business sense for Amazon though, so my K3 is not up for sale on ebay yet!

Won't happen, I think. The reasons are that a) Amazon controls MOBI (they bought Mobipocket) and b) this, effectively, locks (many/most) Kindle customers to Amazon as their sole ebook vendor.
On that topic, I seem to remember there being some unofficial firmware available for some Kindle models that adds ePub support, but I don't remember in which thread I saw it and what it was called.
