Hi, this is my first time posting here, so forgive me if I do something wrong...

Anyway, I have what seems like a simple problem, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it. I have an ePub with a very simple three row, two column table in it. What I'm trying to do is something like this;

From: CourageForever
To: MobileRead

And always have the "M" in "MobileRead" line up with "CourageForever". I also want the table to left align. I can get it to look right in the ePub. Looks fine on Nook for PC and my Nook eReader. But, when I open the ePub up in calibre and convert it to a mobi, the resulting table is centered on the page. The columns line up fine, but the whole table is centered. I tried explicitedly adding the "align=center" attribute to the table, but it makes no difference. Any ideas? I've read that there are some problems with mobi tables, but this seems like such a simple case...

Thanks in advance!
