RTF conversion problem
Hi All,
My first post here, so be gentle !
Have been using Calibre to manage my book collection in conjunction with a Kindle Paperwhite 1. Really useful !
But I recently downloaded a pile of rtf format books, and find they do not convert very well to mobi format. They have hard coded line breaks at around the 30th character in each line, and Calibre seems not to remove them, no matter what I try.
I attach the Calibre conversion log, and one of the rtf files.
Tried setting heuristics on and off, but made no difference, the hard line breaks stay there, and of course wreck the normal text flow needed for Kindle.
Of course I can just open a file in Word and fix it manually, but I have around 50 of these, and probably more to come, so this is a bit painful.
I am sure that a simple regex search and replace would fix this, but I am no expert at regex expressions. Before I spend more time, maybe someone already has a solution ?
Regards,
Adrian
