Weird sentence/paragraph structure

Waylander · 03-08-2015, 09:28 AM

Hi, I've recently downloaded an ebook and the sentence/paragraph structure is very strange. Some paragraphs don't end properly, with a single word making up a new paragraph.

E.g.

(First Paragraph) This was a new experience for him, he needed time to

think.

(Second Paragraph). After thinking, he decided on a course of action.

That's just an example, and it doesn't happen every paragraph. What should I do?

If you paid for it, complain.
If you "acquired it", well you get what you pay for.

So what is one supposed to do when an additional word won't fit on a single line?
Or is this a case of it appearing as 2 paragraphs? (hard to tell on the board)

@Waylander - that's a common symptom of a PDF that's been converted... poorly so.

You'll need to fix in an editor of some sort - have a look at this ==>> Polish the EPUB
