"All the food was gone" = "Al the food was gone"
"Men work for a hand full of dollars" = Men work for a hand ful of dol ars"
What is the source of the epubs? Converting from PDF will frequently do this, as well as problems with other ligatures as mentioned by Freeshadow. Have you looked at the epubs in other ways? The calibre view or Sigil come to mind as good ways to check.

some books work fine others don't. I also notice it hyphenates words in the middle of a word like

I love apples, but I hate oran-
ges.
That is a known and well discussed problem with the 2.0.0 firmware.
