I have a couple of books that makes breaking at the end of the line not good, it breaks in the middle of the word.
The mistake is the use of <font>a</font> everywhere.
In Calibre and Sigil the book is displayed correct.
Example:

I'd say the creator of this ebook was extremely sloppy. Also keep in mind, that HTML 5 no longer supports the <font> tag and in HTML 4.0.1, using the CSS directives was preferred to separate markup and visual styling. The sloppiness is that the <font> tag is used to specify the font face, font size, and font color of text so a <font> tag without any specifiers is just a waste of space. I'd suggest using either Sigil or Calibre's editor to remove all the <font> and </font> pairs.
Now if we are going to discuss Kobo's habit of allowing breaks at tags, that's a whole different issue despite the specification seeming to indicate that this is allowed.
