FizzyWater - That's a good idea! I'm not sure how I would do that though. Any Ideas?

deback - There's absolutely no way I'm counting 600 characters manually for a whole book. I might as well just read it on the Calibre editor at that point.

sjfan - Good Ideas; unfortunately neither of your methods worked. One thing I noticed was that all the body-paragraphs are class="indent" . So I tried

Code:

(?ms)(.{400}.*?)<p class="indent">

and replaced with

Code:

\1<p class="para break">

The editor said it made 400ish changes, but I did not see any effect when I uploaded it to my Kindle.

Your second replacement method (\.) did produce some changes, but not anything desirable. Some of the document was formatted as the original, while seemingly every other paragraph was randomly centered and indented. And still the EBook was displayed on the full screen of the Kindle, instead of only the top half the screen.

This was just one book, and maybe it would be different with others, but unfortunately it did not work. Thanks for the effort though! Any other ideas?
