What I did was to open Briss, not have a rectangle at all for the first 3 pages, and then I ran it through Calibre.
Does the same thing happen when you run it through your scissors?

It is the same with pdf-scissors but if you want to get rid of some pages you can easily do that either by using some freeware pdf tool or pdf editor to delete them from pdf or by using Sigil (freeware epub editor) to delete pages from epub afterwards.
When we crop or delete pdf page we don't actually genuinely crop or delete the original pdf page, but just mask it, telling the reader to show just part of the page or not to show it at all.
Deleting a cropped part of the pdf page genuinely isn't easy i.e. straightforward thing even using Adobe Acrobat.
Also as already mentioned, this pdf book as most of the belletristic there is A5 pdf format or smaller, so there is really no need for epub/mobi conversion because it is easily and quickly readable, searchable, annotateable, scribbleable etc. as cropped or zoomed pdf in landscape mode on 6" eink screen, two or three screens per page depending what size of letters we want, and we can get a lot bigger letter size than in the original paper book because 6" screen is 12 cm wide and the text width in this book is 10 cm without margins.
