First, I found that 2.15 almost perfectly converts my ePubs to pdf for reading on my Kindle Paperwhite 2013. I created html template that squeezes author, title, page number, and section into the header: Author and title go to even page, section and page number go to odd page. Template also draws a separation line under the header:
Code:
<div style="font-size:x-small">
<span class="even_page"><p style="float:left">_AUTHOR_</p>
<p style="float:right">_TITLE_</p><span><hr width="100%">
</div>
<div style="font-size:x-small">
<span class="odd_page"><p style="float:left">_SECTION_</p>
<p style="float:right">_PAGENUM_</p><span><hr width="100%">
</div>
I'm also happy with Calibre ability to provide hyphens in pdf if source ePub carries properly distributed soft hyphens (see attached PW2 screenshots).
Unfortunately, one issue rains of my parade: Excessively wide space between header and book text.
This space is present even if I don't draw separation line, it always steals at least one line of text from the page top.
My question is: Are there any means to decrease space between header and text?
