I had PDF I scanned, without OCR initially. Today I decided to use ABBYY to OCR the book and export it to html, which I assumed would be easier to convert to .mobi. However, the exported html copy of the book has these huge gaps pertaining to the borders between the text on sequential pages. This causes Calibre to overlap mounds of text when converting to mobi or epub. I tried playing around with the conversion options, but haven't stumbled upon a way to have it ignore/remove that white space. Is there a way to do that in Calibre?
