As jhowell says, uploading an ePUB to make a paperback is just not a great idea. If you want my best advice--which is worth what you're paying for it--in Sigil, join the HTML sections, (merge) and then save the file. Unzip it, and then open the HTML in Word.

Save as Word (docx) and then use THAT file to make a print layout. When you've formatted it, you should then export it as a PDF and upload THAT to the KDP. Please, trust me on this. If you want to flail around and keep trying to use an ePUB, knock yourself out, but doing this other process will save you untold amounts of brain-damage and frustration.
