calibre sometimes creating very big files
A couple of times when I have used calibre to convert small books of poetry (say 500kb) the LRF end-result created by calibre is very big = 2.5 MB and difficult to use in the Reader. The LRF books are still legible, but have lots of extra blank lines and page-turns take forever.
This happened first when I tried to create an LRF of one book from a text format, and again this week when I did a Mobipocket .prc conversion to LRF. Has anyone else encountered this, or is there something simple I should do so that the files are not so big? I am not deliberately adding blank lines, but perhaps the many "end-line" and "end-paragraph" characters in poetry books are confusing calibre? |

Thanks - I just opened a ticket, and sent a $15 donation (using my PayPal acount) , since I appreciate calibre very much.
Cheerio! |

Poetry is tough to format. I have done a few of Robert Service's books. For the most recent I have been using calibre and imputing an html file. A very basic html file.
Use this to format a page break: <span style="page-break-after: always"></span> <p> will indent the first line. Use <br> if you don't want that. Use <br> to force a line break. I have deleted all the <font> code and let calibre set the size. |
