No line spacing after paragraphs, Unrecognized characters
I have a bunch of ebooks that were gifted to me and which I subsequently imported to Calibre. The program was great for organizing a bunch of files whose corresponding metadata file was unclear. I can now easily view them in my Kindle Fire.
However, a number of books are lacking line-spacing in between paragraphs and in between dialogue. Others have boxes or boxed question marks in place of apostrophes and other special characters. I think the problem lies with the original files and the way they were originally organized (with the ebook and metadata files not always placed in the same folder). So I do not believe this is a conversion error. However, it would be great if there were any theories as to how to bulk correct these issues using Calibre. Thank you for your input(s). -AJM |

Some books are just bad that way.
The boxed question marks are characters not recognised by the font. Books are not always formatted with an empty line between paragraphs. |

Got it. Thanks, macnab.
Anyone have any tricks then on how to format or bulk format books with either issue? (e.g. a code to insert paragraph breaks after end-quotes?) |
