I believe there are two kinds of people in this world: (1) those who sees a problem and complain about it and (2) those who sees a problem and solves it to make the world a better place. Speaking as techie, I rarely ever run into any of these annoying things that people keep complaining about. Most of these "problems" can be solved in less than 10 seconds if one is really willing to solve it.
I've spent months playing with literally more than a dozen software to figure out how to remove headers and footers automatically. I've also met many others who're having the same problem in various forums. It seems to be a perennial problem that even the mightly Calibre has no solution at the moment (though the wonderful programmer is working at it).

So far, as far as my experiences are concerned, the best solutions are Acrobat/Nuance/Nitro converters. On top of removing headers and footers, they also do a great job at preserving lines and paragraphs. Nitro frequently creates redundant line breaks, more often than Acrobat/Nuance. None is perfect, but they're very competent software.

If you could do it under 10 seconds with mobipocket creator, please share it with us. I'm sure many, I do mean many, people will appreciate it, myself included. Thanks.
