Here is the text of fb2 before conversion and here is the same page of a text after conversion in epub calibre. How to fix it?

Well, I found the way to make correct text formatting. I used this python script.
Usage is to create separate directory for fb2 file(or files) then put fb2html.py(it's need to give it execute permissions) script and fb2 files in it, cd to that directory in terminal and start the script fb2html.py fb2file. After conversion into html file(with pictures also), calibre converts then html file to epub with correct text formatting.

I just wonder what will be the bash command for batch conversions of all fb2 files in one directory using that python script?

Hm... seems like wrong text formattig shows wnen opening converted epub in fbreader program. But when opening converted epub from fb2 in calibre text formatting is correct.
