That's very interesting. Could you upload a sample .prc (and .html) of the 'with blank pages (PDFRead created)' and 'without (Mobipocket or Calibre created)' ebooks. I'll investigate it further to determine what can be done to stop that!

I have a question. Say I want to read a PDF that is mostly two columns, i.e. a scientific paper. Is there a way for me to split that document column wise even if I loose some content (like the title) that is not dobule column? For instance say I have a PDF document like the one shown in the attached sample.png, and want to split it in columns like the attached col1.png and col2.png. Can PDFRead do that? Anyone knows the unpaper setting that would make the trick?
Thanks!

PDFRead can split the page like that with the Layout mode: 'portrait-2col' (with four quadrants/pages). However, it won't detect the two columns boundaries, just split down the middle. Not too helpful, most of the time. See
this post for more info.
However, for that functionality try
PaperCrop - Multi-column PDF files on 6 inch display. It does this better!
