[TxMt] Ebook Editing

Recently I got an eBook reader so I've been trying to scan in some of my
books instead of buying them again.    

I've got the process down pretty well (thanks to a a OpticBook 3600) but I'm
having trouble doing some fine editing.

As you can imagine, the text can get pretty big so I need automated
processes to make this efficient.

I've been using text mate do do a lot of this - unwrapping text and such,
but I need to remove the page numbers/titles.

So, with this text:


Ser Waymar Royce glanced at the sky with disinterest. "It does that every
day 
about this time. Are you unmanned by the dark, Gared?" 
Will could see the tightness around Gared's mouth, the barely sup 
2  GEORGE R.R. MARTIN 
pressed anger in his eyes under the thick black hood of his cloak. Gared had 
spent forty years in the Night's Watch, man and boy, and he was not
accustomed 
to being made light of. Yet it was more than that. Under the wounded pride, 
Will could sense something else in the older man. Yonervous tension that
came perilous close to fear.

I need to figure out a way to remove the page numbers and the break that
will be a number then the author/title.  And then I'd need to be able to
reflow it like the rest of the text without a big space there. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  
(It stands to mention that I really can't write applescript or anything
along those lines.  I need an "inside textmate" solution, or other program I
may have.)
