I am no expert on Calibre, and there is a forum for it here.

One thing I notice is that there are options for both the input and
output sides of the conversion process. If it is that the PDF's headers
and footers are a problem and not needed, for instance, you might be
able to remove them on the input side. Or - correct or remove them
by addressing it with the output settings.

There is also Sigil which has it's own forum here, as well.

I haven't used it much, but it appears to provide an easier editing of the
epub, with a number of less technical editing options.

I've searched the calibre forum here, came up with a lot of general info on the JBL, but nothing specific as far as the formatting goes. I've also tried some of the options pertaining to headers/footers, input/output but the settings that I've tried did nothing that I could see...

For now, Calibre is doing a decent job, it's probably my lack of experience with it that's causing me to not get the results that I desire, and it's not a BIG hairy deal, it's about 98% effective, it just breaks the immersion somewhat:

"the monster reached for John, he'd seen what it had done to it's other victims, and now it waspage 56about to..."

Something like that, see what I mean?

Not really a big deal, but if I can eliminate it I'd like to.

Thanks again for the tips.
