...I can't seem to avoid posting about K4iOS. For those of you wishing for more diversity in my content, please find forgiveness within you.

I have a pretty recent version of Kindle for iOS loaded on an iPad, and I side-loaded (via AZK) a book I'm working on. Looks decent overall, but occasionally (and particularly near the start of chapters) the layout engine will cut a line of text in half (horizontally) at the bottom of the page, so I only get a peek at the ascenders. The start of the next page has the bottom half of the mutilated line of text.

Once this happens, it tends to repeat throughout a chapter. Some chapters are not an issue, and if I use hyperlink navigation to jump around and change the reflow start point, I can often fake it out.

...Question is, before I spend 100 hours messing with my file, is this a known K4iOS bug, perhaps with a known solution?
I'm sorry--I've never seen this. Are you doing anything unusual with this file? Layoutwise? Setting widows, orphans, line-heights, or...?
