Question Help with Calibre editor

ebooks that are converted from .txt or .pdf files have way too many line breaks, which often make it very unpleasant to read those files.

Removing ALL linebreaks causes everything to be bunched up without any visual separations. That makes an ebook imo difficult to read.

In large files, removing line breaks selectively to have a visually pleasing separation of paragraphs takes forever.

Is there any way that the Calibre editor can get back to the original layout by removing the extra linebreaks, without also removing the ones between the original paragraphs?

Q1: Can this be done during the conversion from TXT o PDF to epub?
If yes, please explain how, or refer to an article where explained.


Q2: I have a number of files that I did convert to epub and have deleted the source txt file. If Q1 is answered positively, I guess I could convert those back to TXT and then again to epub with the fix.

If that is not possible, can this be fixed in the Calibre EPUB editor without having to waste days of my time on manually fixing a single book?

TIA
