Rich Text Format to azw3 ?
I have Amtrak Wars in Words Rich Text Format, converted it to azw3 in calibre but it doesn't display properly in a Kindle Paper-white
Converting to mobi is worse azw3 has gaps in the middle of a sentence, the gaps are about a line and a half which makes reading a little disconcerting Is there a way I can improve the display ? |

Where did you get it from? Perhaps best to ask whatever bookstore it was if they're able to supply it in Mobi or ePub formats.

This sounds very much like the underlying format is a PDF, they can convert to word and look fine but won't convert well at all to mobi.
My best suggestion is to convert from RTF to RTF using calibre and in the tab Heuristic lower the default 40 to say 15 then see what the new RTF looks like. Then you will need to tidy up the new RTF manuall. That means removing any headers and trailers and manually lifting the text where the gaps are. It's a painfull and long process but it's that or locate a mobi file or DRM free ePub you can convert to mobi. |

As all these OpenOffice/LibreOffice extensions are from a group of italian programmers, you may need google translate. |

Thanks everyone
My friend has made an executive decision He bought the Amtrak Wars from Amazon in AZW3 format Only $5- Australian each, naturally they display properly in a Kindle Paper-white (I suspect he doesn't think I'm smart enough to do the conversions) |
