Device: Kobo Aura H20 Edition 2
Epubs loaded to Kobo missing small bits of text

Hello,
I am currently using a Kobo Aura H2O Second Edition. I've gotten in the habit of downloading my ebooks from the seller and installing them on the device (rather than downloading them directly to the device), particularly since adding them from the device to the Calibre library seems like it will be problematic every time something changes.

However, I've discovered that for a few books, the entire text shows up in the Calibre reader, but when they are added to my Kobo, parts of sentences or whole paragraphs go missing - mostly at the end of chapters or before a scene break. I tried to search for other people posting this problem but couldn't find anything that seemed exactly the same. A few things seemed to suggest that the epub file downloaded from the Kobo site might not be exactly the same as the one loaded directly to my device? And that the downloaded file might have errors in the CSS?

I have very, very, very basic experience in editing CSS files, so if this is indeed the problem, explicit directions for potentially fixing the problem would be appreciated. Or if you think it might be something else entirely?

If I have missed any information that might be helpful in diagnosing the problem, please ask! Thank you in advance for any insights.
