Paragraph breaks become page breaks when converting to mobi
I got an ebook that when viewed in Calibre as epub looks fine and normal. But when I send it to my Kindle or view it in Calibre as a mobi, all the paragraph breaks get converted to page breaks (so each paragraph is on its own page).
I checked the CSS and nothing jumps out at me as wrong (but admittedly I don't really know what I'm looking for). And it only seems to happen with this one book. I'm wondering if anyone's seen this before or knows how to fix it. Thanks! |

It will be vecause it has class="chapter" on all its paragraphs. Change the page break detection setting in the conversion dialog under structure detection to / and you will be fine.

That didn't seem to fix it. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Added a couple screenshots showing the setting and result is still chapter-per-page. |

You need to change the options in the conversion dialog of that book.
See https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/con...for-conversion |

Ahhh, I didn't realize Calibre saved conversion settings per book. That's great. And that worked, thank you!

Hi Kovid. I seem to be having the same problem with an AZW converted to epub. I expect I am doing something wrong. I have @class='chapter' in my Detect chapters drop down on the Convert/Structure detection. I expect I misunderstood the instruction. I have variously tried changing @class='chapter' to @class='/', changed the chapter mark drop down to none, and put an '/' in the Insert page breaks drop down. Irrespective of what I do I get a 4500page book with one para per page. Can you please assist? Cheers, Allan

I ended up fixing this using the Calibre editor, merging the pages into chapters. Worked fine.
