ADE uses a similar page numbering that doesn't change when you change settings such as the font, font size, margins, and line height. KePub is one page to one screen and any of those settings that you change will change the page numbers.

You have two choices. Read in ePub where the text looks as it should or read in KePub with all those lovely gaps due to bugs in the Access renders (that displays KePub).

But remember, the ePub page number is more real then the current KePub page numbering.

Sorry, I may have been unclear. What I want is one page to one screen. As you guess, I would rather read without those gaps, and that's what I would do if I don't succeed to converse the ePub file.

I may have done something wrong, but when I tried to search for thin spaces, I found nothing, so I gave up and did it in TextEdit. I would be glad to know where I was wrong!

Indeed, I didn't find that, nor did I find thin spaces (but I just checked 3 books).

I think wrapping the text to remove extra spaces and line breaks is the first thing to do. I use the following saved search in the calibre editor to do this:

([\w-.,’”"'–;:\!…\?])\s*\n+\s*([\w"'’‘“]|<i)

With the replace text:

\1 \2

That matches most of what I have found when trying to wrap the text in paragraphs and replacing the line break with a single space. It isn't perfect, and have added things over time. It could probably be simplified, but, it works for me.

Thank you very much, I will try that and I will let you know if it fixes my problem

I performed the hard "search and replace" thing on all the full epub. Results are satisfying to me. To be honest, it doesn't bother me to replace thin spaces with non breaking spaces. All the books I have read so far are formatted this way, and it doesn't catch my eyes while reading.

I would like to thank you all for your help. It was very useful to me to listen to your advices. I have learned a lot. I will keep you posted with the method I am happier with. Thanks again, guys.
