I use Calibre to convert ebooks to AZW3 format for my Kindle, and from time to time I encounter files that have two properties I'm not fond of:

1. No indents at the beginning of paragraphs.
2. Blank lines between paragraphs.

I prefer the formatting of my ebooks to mimic that of my print books as closely as possible, so the above can get annoying at times.

I can fix this on a per-book basis by importing the book into Word, tweaking the formatting, and exporting back out to AZW3, but I'd really prefer not to do that for my entire library.

Can Calibre be configured to spot formatting like this and fix it on the fly during the conversion process?
