Duplicate pages

I converted to an az3 but ended up with two of each page. Is there a way to fix this without reconverting?

nope

A GIGO problem?
I don't remember seeing that happen without a lot of help..

You could use the new calibre editor, but you said Page?

e-books don't have pages, they have screens of reflowable text and images. So just how (order) does the 'duplicates' appear? 1 after another using next screen swipe/button or later (repeats a section of the book)

If your book has duplicated Chapters (consists of file per chapter internally), the editor can be used to delete the extra pieces . Slightly more work is to SPLIT up a monolithic book into chapter per file using the editor. Then delete the duplicated pieces (now files)

@nope - we could probably give more help if you make a post that conforms to what's in here ==>> How to ask a question about conversion problems

When I click the next "screen" it is the same content as the last one. Then after that is a new one, which is repeated as well. So each screen appears twice throughout the whole book. So it goes screen 1, screen 1, screen 2, screen 2, etc...

That is not even close to normal conversion results.

You stated TO AZW3

What was the FROM ??? <<< BTW that is the likely (GIGO) source.

What is really odd is it is the next screen.
That almost says your source is an IMAGE (and repeated), because with reflowable text, Calibre would not know in advance, exactly what your screen would hold.

Calibre Detective work:
Select the book: Tap 'T' and select AZW3 if asked.
In the file browser column: How many files do you see in the IMAGES group (you can double-click and sample/see what they are). Are they pictures of your pages?

Remember to cancel/discard (not save) any possible UNINTENDED changes when you exit.
