Every paragraph becomes a new page
I'm adding an EPUB downloaded with FanFicFare onto my XTEINK X4 device, but every paragraph starts on a new page. A chapter that should be around 30 pages ends up being almost 200 pages. There is a huge page break between each paragraph.

I also tried converting the EPUB to EPUB again in Calibre and checked "Remove spacing between paragraphs," but it didn't help. I enabled Structure Detection and added / to the Detect chapters field as well, but that didn't change anything either.

The same original EPUB displays perfectly on my Kobo, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Has anyone run into this before or know how to fix it? Thanks!

You may need to set widows and orphans both to 1. See the CSS code I use,

Code:
body {
  widows: 1;
  orphans: 1;
  margin-top: 0;
  margin-right: 0;
  margin-bottom: 0;
  margin-left: 0;
  text-align: justify;
}
p {
  margin-top: 0;
  margin-bottom: 0;
  widows: 1;
  orphans: 1;
  text-indent: 1.2em;
}

Your paragraphs have class="chapter". In the structure detection section of the conversion dialog set chapter mark to none or set the detect chapters expression to /

I guessed it based on the many many times this question has been asked over the years.
