I attached a sample technical document where you can see this problems.
It is generated by saving the page with the Firefox of this URL: http://www.mikrocontroller.net/artic...R-GCC-Tutorial.
Then i converted the local HTML with Calibre to EPUB.
So you have the same problems with other documents converted with Calibre.
It is really fine that also tables are shown on the Kobo correct, but it shows only the beginning of the page and then jumps to the beginning of the next page when you skim.
Intresting is that it leaps to the correct internal page number.
The line height problem is because of the style in the book. Each page is actually a table. The actual text is within a td tag that has style "calibre19". This is defined with "line-height: 1.45". The reader app does not override this. Simply removing this from the style definition will allow the line heights to be set. But, it might mess up the layout.

The incomplete pages looks to be a layout issue. There are levels of div's and tables around the actual text. When I stripped those out for a couple of chapters, the pages flowed correctly.
