Hello All,
Nick, awesome job with PDFRead absolutley loved it. Great tool. I too can confirm the "blank page" bug in Kindle 2 mentioned by AnthonyPaulO. If I generate the html and then produce the mobi either with mobipocket (in Windows) or Calibre in Mac the generated book renders correctly and no blank pages are inserted.

I have a question. Say I want to read a PDF that is mostly two columns, i.e. a scientific paper. Is there a way for me to split that document column wise even if I loose some content (like the title) that is not dobule column? For instance say I have a PDF document like the one shown in the attached sample.png, and want to split it in columns like the attached col1.png and col2.png. Can PDFRead do that? Anyone knows the unpaper setting that would make the trick?

Thanks!
