I have recently learned how to strip drm from my kindle books so that i can use calibre to translate mobi to pub. But I find that on my Sony readers (300 & 505) there is a problem with the epub version. When I turn pages, often I lose three or four lines of text.

No doubt this is because I am making the wrong selections in the conversion process. Can someone point me to something that will help me with this?

EDIT: I think I've figured it out. I set up the output file to be customized for the 300, and eliminated the double space between lines. A quick once over seems to show that the problem is gone on my 300. I'm going to put the same file on my 505 & see if it's okay there, too.

Further EDIT: Well, there are still some dropped lines on both readers...it's better, but not quite fixed.
