Formatting issues with .prc files generated from Kindle ebooks
Hi folks. I recently purchased and decoded a .azw ebook and then converted it to .prc for my own private use (edit: that should read 'decoded a .azw book to mobi format for my own private use'). I then converted the mobi file to Sony Reader's native .lrf format. However, no matter what, I get blank space between the paragraphs.
Converting it to epub works just fine to get rid of those extra line breaks, but I hate the way epub files display on the Sony 505, and would much prefer Sony's native format for that reason (I also tried converting from azw-->prc-->epub-->lrf, hoping the epub conversion would solve the line break problem, but it didn't).
What tools or tips or forum entries should I be looking at to fix those extra spaces between paragraphs, given that I primarily work on a Macbook (non-dual booting)? I have occasional access to a PC running XP, but only occasionally, so if there happen to be any mac-based solutions anyone can think of off the top of their head, I'd be really grateful.
PS: I tried downloading and playing around with Jutoh and eCub, but became rapidly baffled trying to figure out how they worked.
Edit: I did figure out how to 'unpack' a mobipocket file using a tool mentioned elsewhere in the mobipocket discussion area, but I'm still bamboozled which bit of the HTML I'm supposed to be stripping out.
