Some languages make heavy use of compound words. It's not extremely common to have words that long, but it does happen.

You might want to make a note at the beginning of your book asking the reader to switch their book view to landscape, if that is possible on the Kindle. That is, they would hold and read their book with the longest screen dimension horizontal. That will allow longer lines. If editing for epub, also make sure you pull out all non breaking spaces to avoid compounding the problem of overlong words.

Actually, the Kindle just wraps the line if it is longer than the screen width. Since I personally use a Kindle, this is the behaviour I am accustomed to. It was when I used a Sony Reader that I saw the problem with long words not displaying.
Removing any non-breaking spaces is a great idea.
Thanks everyone.
