I use Calibre to manage my eBook collection.
Years ago ,I had problems with displaying some of my purchased eBook titles(similarly to you).I now always run my ebooks through the Calibre 'convert eBook' menu item.This is normally used to change the ebooks format(file type)E.G.from .pdf to .epub or from .awz3 to .epub but you can just use it to convert eBook from .awz3 to .awz3 or convert eBook from .epub to .epub .As it does the conversion it usually corrects/fixes any non-conforming formatting to the industry standard formatting .If this conversion process errors and halts conversion then I select the book in calibre and mouse right click and select edit book then I select tools/check ebook and select the autocorrect option.

If it is text formatting errors (words joined or permanently containing hyphenation regardless of their position in the line) then these errors are in the original authors text file.
I fix these by using Calibre option to convert the file to docx file.
right click on book in calibre library listing and select convert books/convert individually
top right hand corner change Output format box to DOCX
bottom right hand corner click OK
right click on book in calibre library listing and select Open containing folder
then 'right click/open with' and open the .docx file with LibreOffice Writer and use the main menu/Tools/spell check,word search & replace and the main menu/Format options to correct book.
use LibreOffice Writer main menu/File/Export As/Export as EPUB.to save the corrected eBook.
