converting a mobi questions

holdit · 12-20-2012, 12:28 PM

I took a word doc which has styling, converted to a web page ( filtered )

Opened in Calibre
added the cover image

Calibre converted, kept the styling, colors of the font but I notice that there are some large spaces inbetween certain paragraphs which need not be there. Looking at the final .mobi in The Kindle Previewer and a Kindle Fire shows pages which can easily hold 4 paragraphs just displaying one.

If I look in the html ( webpage) in word there are just regular spacing where they appear large in the mobi.

Is there a way to edit out the spaces?

Convert to ePub. Edit in Sigil (or use Calibre's "Tweak ePub") to find out what the problem is. Fix it, then convert back to Mobi.
