I have an ebook originally in doc format. I opened the ebook in Microsoft Word and saved as PDF. Then I used Abbyy Finereader 12 to convert to epub. In some cases (usually around pictures or author sidebar), unwanted spaces appeared. When I opened the epub in Sigil, I couldn't just easily delete the unwanted space. I had to do a lot of copy/paste and typing to eliminate the space. My question is: is there an easy way to delete the unwanted spaces.
The epub is here (search for "rolling" to find the part):

This first screenshot shows the unwanted space in Kindle Previewer.
The second screenshot shows the unwanted space in Sigil. I can't take the cursor and just delete the space.
