So why can't calibre convert a pdf the "right" way, without inserting a line break at every line end?

1. Calibre doesn't insert a line break, the line break is there.
2. If you use the free Mobipocket Creator you can change pdf to html. Here you can see where the actual breaks are and clean things up using find and replace it wordpad.
3. PDF to epub code is being rewritten for Calibre. But the command line and the gui for Calibre use the same ebook-convert executable.

While we wait for the new conversion for PDF try going to preferences, conversion, PDF input and adjust the line unwrapping factor. Try .6 to start and vary it till you have what works best for you. I think the command line default is .5
Good Luck.
