FYI: text loss when converting to kepubs

Dear Jgoguen,
This is a new one for me: I downloaded the Seidensticker translation of Murasaki's Shikibu's Tale of Genji, which is now too heavy for me as a paperback. It reads normally with Adobe and the Calibre reader, but when I sent it to my kobo readers using your extension, the right-hand side of the text is cropped away. It works when I send it as an epub, but it's a pity, since I definitely prefer the kepub look of books, and this is a long haul one. Any idea why it occurs and how I could avoid it? I looked at the coding with Sigil but it is fairly complex and I'm no expert: could it have something to do with this?
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%

I've also seen this elsewhere
width: 450px;
but it doesn't seem to be called in the paragraph I was looking at.

Regards, anacreon

EDIT: I can send you my epub if you are interested but it is a modified edition - I downloaded the book from http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/m/mura...tale-of-genji/, modified the chapter headings for a better TOC, suppressed the links at the bottom of each chapter, and inserted a couple of missing images.
