ibooks update and blank pages

Now I have a lot of epubs to edit by hand to make them display as before but for new conversions, is there a way to tell Calibre to not use or set that property to a different value?

Thanks.

I have been dealing with the same problem. I created a book using Calibre and later edited with Sigil and it read very well in Stanza. However, hen I opened it in iBooks it created blank pages before each chapter, and often an extra page before some chapter titles.

The good news is that I followed your advise, removed the css property "page-break-before: always", and the problem disappeared.

Thanks a lot adv_dp_fan.

When you use Calibre to generate your ePub books, it's good to know that since version 0.7.48 this problem is solved. Calibre does no longer add the "page-break-before" property automatically.
