The EPUB reader doesn't have this problem, it can handle much narrower line spacing.
That fixed it in the kepub, thanks. I increased the line spacing by 2 taps and the chopped off text is now gone.

So it's down to something I forgot to mention in the above post. It's livable, just not preferable for me, where unless you have justification off, kepubs override all centered text and align everything left. Where I mind it is at the chapter numbers and titles. I could avoid it by making sure the book stylesheet calls for full justification, then I can keep justification off on the reader and chapter headings will remain centered. It's just odd to me that kepubs do that.
