How to fix ebooks?

Several ebooks i read are not formatted properly.
At the end of each paragraph there is a carriage return which makes reading tiring and difficult.
I usually convert them as text and as I use the Macintosh with BBEDIT i am able to remove them. I convert the EPUB to text and then attempt to remove carriage returns.
However this is a long and boring process as not every carriage return is meant to be removed.
It takes a very long time as I need to do them one by one.
Do you have a suggestion for me to remove them with some sort of script or anything else so I can read the epub properly?
I understand this happens because the writer doesn't format the bokk properly to begin with but as it happens for at least one book every five or more, it will be great to find a way to do it differently rather then converting them from epub to text and then using e text editor.
Besides after converting to text and then reconverting them to epub I loose a lor of important infos, as author, publisher, cover image and so on.
Any hints?
Thans and happy new year.
