I'm having a problem with extra paragraph spaces
I am using calibre to convert PDF format to epub format and send it to my iPhone but the problem is when it gets to the iPhone there is extra spacing even before the period comes it starts a new paragraph. Any way I could fist this? There are to many paragraph gaps when reading.

Did you try checking remove spacing in the look & feel section under conversion?
Left justifying often makes files shorter as well. Helen |

The only way to correct this is by manually editing the html. You can do this by running the conversion with a directory specified in the Debug area of Calibre. Once the (failed) conversion is complete look in the directory you specified and you will find the resultant html before conversion. I have had easy fixes and books that I decided weren't worth it once I viewed the source. The easy fixes were simply replacing <br/> with <br/><br/> then using a find and replace to substitute </p><p> with every set of <br/><br/> in the document. This changes the line breaks to paragraphs. I use notepad++ for this. Then I hand edit out the large groups of </p><p> before chapters etc... Drag the new html to Calibre and convert. Each html document is different, Good Luck. |

ok guys I installed calibre on my other computer because it wasn't working with any books, it still had the spacing, but on the other comp it works fine. I think i must have messed with the settings before and screwed it up on my main pc, but when I uninstall calibre it saves the settings or something because I still have the same problem after I reinstall it. Is there anyway I can do a full uninstall and reinstall?
some more info: I am using a sony Vaio with WIN 7 and again I am uploading to stanza for Iphone |

After you uninstall Calibre find the equivalent of this folder on your machine and delete it. Reboot and reinstall. Good Luck. |
