This is quite ambitious for my first post, but I thought I would ask anyway.

My purpose is to convert mobi books to pdf, so that I can annotate them on the iPad for academic purposes. I managed to do this, except for one little detail.

When I read my mobi books on the Kindle, some books have metadata that refers to the actual page number of the print edition. Since I want to annotate for academic purposes, this information is crucial.

I am wondering if there is a way to use this marker to force a page break in Calibre. That way I would end up with a PDF that has exactly the same information on each page as the print edition. Ultimately I could even change the page number metadata in Adobe to get the exact same page number in the PDF and the print edition


Before anyone asks, I know epub is a lot better for reading, but the reason I'm converting to PDF is that I can highlight and write notes on the iPad, and this information is visible on the iPad and on my Mac, and I can export a list of all my notes and highlights. If there where a way to do this with epub, without being locked into a specific platform, I would happily do that instead.

Thanks!
