I'm scanning pages primarily of text (and a few tables and pictures) to Abbyy FineReader and saving its OCR output as HTML. The HTML output looks great on my Sony PRS-700 when I use Calibre to convert it to ePUB. However, it would make me so happy if there was a way to force the reader to paginate according to breaks in the HTML rather than...arbitrarily. I have no idea how the reader manages pagination of the text. I know that its possible to insert a page break in an RTF and the Reader will break the page accordingly for a Calibre conversion to ePub.
