sure, the book is volume 1 of the Thorndyke omnibus which i got here. note that it doesn't happen consistently on *every* page, however it does happen a lot, so you might have to dig a little bit. according to mtravellerh, who posted it, it's a straight conversion to epub, presumably from mobi format (he doesn't specify). i took a quick glance at it just now and i see all paragraphs are enclosed in div tags rather than p tags, and that looks like bookdesigner code to me, so it wouldn't be suprising if something strange happened somewhere along the way since that's like the trifecta for bad code. but i really wouldn't expect the 900 to treat it any differently, nor should it.

When ADE hits an improperly nested tag it ends that file right then and there, and will page break into the next XHTML file. This is true for the 900 as well.
yep. it's all about valid code.
