The unexplained page break might occur between chunks, as it ordinarily would between seperate files.

If that is the case then the solution for most books with excessively large .html files is to split the files at chapter headings in Calibre before sideloading, so that the page breaks occur where they naturally should between chapters. But if the book has extremely long chapters then there may be no way to avoid these breaks.
I can see that, but I think the file size is in the 260-300KB range. My test book is a 30 odd chapter book where I merged all the chapters into one 1.4MB file. I have just been paging through it have so far hit two of these spots. Using the calibre editor to split the file at these points gave me 263KB and 292KB.

I'll keep tapping the screen for the afternoon and see where the next one is. But, it is getting tedious as page turns are getting noticeably slower as I go through this book. Which, if I remember rightly, was what it was created to test.
