For some reason, it can't render an internal file over a certain size as one continuous section and breaks up larger files into sections. Thus the brackets, or "section breaks." This is a limitation of MR which I find rather ridiculous.
Oh, hell, is that the old over-256K-ish limitation? The one from ages ago? I forget the actual limitation figure now; we use 250-300kb as a guideline in my shop. We still run into that--we get "creative" writers that don't have chapters or sections or any viable way to break up (say) 100K words. Those will exceed the display limits and you'll see a break on ADE, for example. We explain it upfront to the customer, they say "okay" and then, when they see the breaks, they get cranky. (sigh).

So, the easy solution is for bookmakers to know their craft? Or for buyers to know how to modify their ePUB files?
