Upon reading ebooks I have downloaded from various sites to my kindle touch via Calibre, I've noticed that every few pages, the title, or the authors name and/or a number (not chapter) comes in at the middle of the page. Its very annoying and interrupts the flow of the page completely. Is there any way I can fix this before I download from Calibre. Its not every page but too often for comfort...

Rather than making accusations having the the smell of tar and feathering, they being based on assumptions of which the accusers are certain of but which may be false, I will try and give an answer

It looks to me that the books that you have this trouble with are likely PDFs or otherwise scanned books that have been converted for Kindle. You can test this to see if this is the effect by downloading the Kindle versions of a few books from
www.archive.org most of which are scanned (and for the interest of the tar and featherers, are believed by the reputable archive.org to not be in copyright).
If this is the cause then apart from editing and rebuilding the ebook with a tool such as Sigil (for which you would have to convert the book to epub first), usually a painful job not worth the trouble unless it is a particularly wanted book and not otherwise available, I don't think there is any other answer.
