Anyway the net is author your epubs using blockquote instead of div.

Thanks, Idolse. I should have made it clear that I have indeed used blockquotes for the first level quotes, and within that blockquote have used a div for the nested quote. As I mentioned above there is no indentation for the first level quote on either side, probably because I've put the text within <p></p> tags.
Do you have any suggestions and the awful looking footnote numbers, or for the fact that the mobi file has a serif font though the ePub file has a sans-serif font?
I'm beginning to think that user_none is right, and it can't be done with mobi. I think I'll go over to the Kindle area and ask how they would do it, or if it can be done anyway.
