This looks good.

During getting to the process I did find that other pdf tools did show that there were extra characters in the line, forming the breaks, which supports the posting above.
Due to my experience with ebook formatting when I used RTF (mainly a problem with font controlling my ebook's font) led me to use PDF as my ebook format. As long as I set the page size to the same size as my screen, they render perfectly on my reader and I can see what they will like on my computer before I make the PDF for my ereader.
