Extra spaces between words
Hi guys... the problem I'm having is that some of the books I have converted with Calibre and am reading with a Kindle Paperwhite have extra spaces between words. This occurs for one or two lines of text every 2-3ish pages and is normal spacing between occurrences.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can you offer any advice? It's very difficult for me to read an e-book if there are any problems with the format, and I would love to be able to get this straightened out. Thanks a bunch. |

Oh, ok... so it is adding extra spaces between each word in that line instead of space at the end of the line due to a long word at the end? It looks awful. My real preference would be for it to just leave the space at the end of the line... I'm going to check out the Hyphenate plugin, though... thanks very much for the recommendation.

Ok, I just tried the Hyphenate plugin and it seems to work pretty well. Not sure if I picked the best dictionary or if it matters, but my book looks much better. Thanks for the help.
I guess I'm going to have to batch edit quite a few books now. I have always kept my library in .mobi format, but I noticed someone said it works better with .azw3. So I guess I will need to batch convert to that format and then batch hyphenate. I hope no other formatting problems show up while I'm doing all this. o_O Thanks again. |
