Yeah, I think I'm just ranting, perhaps more about the older books. Don't ereaders typically start a new page at the start of each .htm file? A lot of the Gutenberg books have the front matter (e.g., the Gutenberg copyright notice in a fixed width font) in the first .htm file with table of contents and even the first chapter. And then they use a bunch of br tags, I'm guessing to try to push things to the next page.

I've backed myself into a corner and decided I must use Sigil's mend and prettify on all of the epub books I've downloaded and then converting them (again) to awz3. Then I see the first file stuff and roll my eyes.
