Thank you very much for pointing me to the right thread! I'll go with:

Find:

Code:

([A-Z])\. ([A-Z])\. ([A-Z])

Replace:

Code:

\1.\xA0\2.\xA0\3

and replace "xA0" with the appropriate code for a nonbreaking space in Calibre.

That seems to suit me perfectly.

Since you asked, I just don't like line breaks after the first or second initial when I read a book on my Kindle.
