I hate those gremlins... and your edit, isn't that solution exactly what I just wrote in my post?

If you adjust the width, it allows two paragraphs side-by-side.
Thank you, could be something else to put in my back pocket.

Hmmmm... trying to get text boxes eh? This is some CSS I stripped out of a book I purchased/read, and now I use it all the time in my own EPUBs if I ever need to recreate a box (see attached image for how it looks):

Code:
div.textbox {
	background-color:#D1D3D4;
	border-bottom: 3px double;
	border-top: 3px double;
	border-left: 3px double;
	border-right: 3px double;
	padding: 1em;
	line-height: 1.7em;
	text-align: center;
}
I think it looks quite good on eink as well. Of course, you could cut out the grey background for your own purposes, and just stick with the nice box.
