I should've described the kind of problem that happened to me before asking for a belt and suspenders solution.

The affected ePubs can not be recognised immediately, because they render just fine. The flaw they have usually shows up at the end of the first chapter.
Something about how the chapter-breaks are set up makes whole sections and sometimes most of the remaining chapters disappear.

This is frustrating as hell - you get sucked into a story and with the next page turn you find that you suddenly skipped forty pages.

Those ePubs are displayed just fine in Calibre. I like my Glo, I can't go use a Kindle again because I need backlighting.

I found that performing a ePub conversion in Calibre fixes this.
I'm a bit apprehensive of just carpet-bombing my library with ePub conversions, because that could lead to other problems.

I'll link this thread in the plugin forum, thanks!
