I'd suggest looking at the book in Calibre's editor and seeing if it really does have line breaks where the app is showing them.
I think most of the popular epub readers on android are broken when it comes to rendering epub correctly. Try, for example, Three Men on a Boat found here on MR. Moon, fbreader and other readers based on it, cool reader, ub, alreader, aldiko all fail to various extent. The only ones I've seen that do it close to correctly are mantano and other Adobe based readers.
