Converting Sleepyhead from mobi to epub overlapping text.
I am a Calibre rookie so I might need some help on what to do. I have got a mobi retail version of the Mark Billingham novel, Sleepyhead. I have tried to convert it to epub so I can read on my Sony Reader. However, after conversion most of the text in the book is overlapping and making some sentences unreadable. Can anybody give me how I can fix this.

I tend to use Sigil to fix problems, where I get to see the code (and results). Overlapping lines, might be a line-height: setting in the CSS (normally I need no setting, the defaults work). Does the overlap change with Zoom Level? The height may be set in an absolute value, instead of a % or em (which scale) |

I have tried all the sizes and some sentences still overlap. Even in XXL more. I will try about the line-height and let you know.

I have made some progress as I had to increase the minimum line height to 170% so it doesn't have any overlapping sentences. I noticed on Sigil I can remove the formatting so it removed the overlapping sentences but is there a way I can remove the formatting for the entire book rather that doing it page by page?

Fix the CSS and you are done. Start with a version that you have NOT done style stuff with in Book View. (that makes a jumble of CSS and inline styling ) |
