I've actually have a book that is doing something like this.

When I first saw this, I thought there was a nesting error like described, but when I checked, there were no problems. So, a slightly modified version of the book went back on the device and it happened again. But, this time, I accidentally touched the screen in the blank area for to long and the dictionary popup was shown with the meaning of a word. Turns out the text is there, but in white-on-white or some other invisible mode. And if I change the font size it repaginates and the same thing happens but the rule is in a different part of the page and different amount of text is hidden.
It appears to be is something in the CSS that is laying out the text but ends up with white-on-white or something like that for the top part of a page with a rule on it. But, I cannot see what it is. When I have time, I plan to extract what is needed and post it for the experts here to tell me why it works the way it does. It doesn't happen with the kepub renderer, so I read the book with that. But, I'm curious about what the exact cause is.
There has been another problem RMSDK that I think is seen on the Sony's as well. Occasionally, the last line of text in a chapter is pushed to a new page. If that is all the Sony is losing, then maybe it has a different form of the same error or something related to it.

Sounds like it might be that.
When it happens it is everything after a line and then when you turn the page on the Sony there might be anywhere from a cm or 2 at the top of the page up to half a page that appears blank before the next part starts. It sometimes happens at an actual chapter break, other times it happens when there is a scene break with a *** bit between the scenes.
Frankly though, it's an irritating thing but not worth the time and effort to try to fully figure out what is going on. The missus is happy enough to read it on her netbook and it is a read once and forget romance book.
