I've been using Calibre to convert documents that I've prepared in MS Word 2010 and saved into the intermediate format of filtered HTML. I've had no problem converting the HTML into EPUB books for my Sony eReader; however, when I convert the same HTML document into MOBI (with "Kindle" output selected), the formatting is terribly altered. For starters, the fonts are heavily upsized, so if the document was made with chapter headings that started off as a Constantia font size 20 in MS Word, upon conversion to MOBI, these fonts get increased to something around a 40 size, crowding the page and altering the formatting in the body of the documents.

Has anyone else experienced this? Should I choose a different output than "Kindle," or is there another way to remedy this problem?
