One thing I have noticed in some ePub is that there can be em dashes with no space and some with space in the same book. So maybe that's what you have there.

Not according to what I'm seeing in the editor.

Perhaps you could scramble the book and attach it to a message here so we could take a look at it. Makes it a lot easier than guessing from what you have posted.

Okay, scrambled AZW3 file. But like I've said, there are no spaces before em dashes in the file. It's something about how this file is displaying on my Paperwhite.

Just use KFX in the future, I guess. Though, it really is a weird problem. I've tried scrambled file, and I see nothing wrong on my end.
