Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I thought I'd start here. I have an epub that I used calibre to convert to a mobi. It's a process that has worked flawlessly on lots of other books and I thought it would with this one. I loaded it onto my Kindle Paperwhite and started reading, but I quickly noticed that the text wasn't breaking appropriately at the bottom of the screen. When I turned the page, the text at the top of the next page only occasionally continued on from the text at the bottom of the previous page. I shrank the font to see if this would help and noticed that letters were being cut off at the bottom of the screen. I realized the text is running on down to some point and only then does it insert a page break. I checked the file in Kindle for PC and it's fine. Here are some screenshots as I'm not sure I'm explaining this clearly:
Initial font size:
Smaller font size; you barely see characters being cut off at the bottom:
In both cases, this is the next page:
I exploded the book in calibre and discovered that the text is set up in a table format: one cell contains the text of the book, the other cell contains the reference numbers for the text. Is it the table structure that's causing the problem? Is there a way I can scroll within a "page" so I can read the whole thing? Is there a way to make it insert proper page breaks? I converted it to a PDF, thinking a PDF would insert hard page breaks but it still scrolls off the screen.
I tried asking about this on the Official Amazon Fora, but I got stuck because I wasn't sure I ought to tell them it was a converted mobi. They might get cranky about such things. I tried searching here for similar problems but as you might imagine, searching on "table text" turns up a lot of results.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'd really like to be able to read this on my PW and not have to sit at my PC to read it. Thank you!
