You, sir, are a genius. This works beautifully and avoids all the mucking about in Sigil fixing stuff that Calibre puts in. Not only that, but it creates dramatically smaller epubs. For newbie Mobipocket users, just click on "import PDF", choose the file, click Import, then click on Build. Add the book with calibre, and then do a mass convert to epub. With most of my scummy PDFs all I needed to do then was tidy up the title and everything was lovely! You've saved me hours...
