That link to John's website was a Godsend for me too! I managed to correct these same issues by using his suggested reformatting of CSS areas affecting the key areas. Only in a few books I've converted using calibre going from epub to mobi is it a major hassle due to their unwieldy length and complexity of the book -- a perfect example is the Pevear & Volokhonsky translation of "War and Peace" -- way too many variables and impossible length. So I'll have to settle for first-page & paragraph indents in mobi. I'll live

I wonder why Calibre's Blank Space Removal switch in the conversion process also forces an indent by default. Is it not possible to have it just remove blank paragraph spaces while offering indenting as a user option -- thus preserving the original indent formatting?

Anyone know?
