Initially, to get the novel from the Kobo store to my Kobo, I synced using wifi. The file then showed up on my Kobo as poorly formatted... and, on copying the file to my hardrive FROM my Kobo, also showed up poorly formatted in all viewing media (Kobo desktop software and ADE, etc).

However, in order to strip the DRM, I downloaded a fresh version from the Kobo site, and then stripped the DRM from that file. (Downloaded it using ADE and then moved the file from its stored folder.)

So I'm guessing either (a) transferring the file via wifi from site to Kobo somehow altered its formatting, (b) this is just some random, one off fault (possibly a corruption of the file on download), or (c) ADE does something to the file which alters the formatting somehow.

Anyway,. thanks for your input, guys.
Sometimes KePubs have messed up formatting.
