I've been experimenting with scanning books for the past few weeks and have been making some great headway. I'm using an OCR (ABBYY FineReader 9.0) and the file it shoots out looks fantastic (using MS .DOC but HTML/RTF yield the same result).

The problem is as soon as I try and convert it into something my Kindle can use it all goes to hell.

Everything gets smashed together and I lose centering and page breaks.

Is there some type of trick or code I can use to preserve the formatting (such as the chapter title being on a separate page and centered)
