The "?" are probably soft-hypens (i.e. invisible characters to tell the reader where to break a word if necessary). The Sony eBL handles soft hypens on the Desktop, but I know the PRS-505 does not and I'm not surprised that the PRS-600 also fails. So the problem is the ebook, and since it is from the Sony store it should definitely not include soft hyphens.
