Hi All –

I'm at last going great with formatting into .mobi using Calibre to produce an Amazon e-book; discovered yesterday you can upload a book in .mobi form even though the Amazon webpage doesn't hint that you can! I also discovered Amazon doesn't like you posting 'testing' type pseudobooks! :-)

Anyway, I'm trying to save an image file by writing a diagram in text, but I need to just force a simple newline throw at some points. Any ideas? I can't do or face CSS.

Also, I've heard somewhere that it's best to use dumb quotes, but when I forget to convert them, smart quotes come out fine in Kindle for Mac and also Kindle previewer. Do we really need to stick to dumb quotes?

I hope this was an ok place to ask this.

Cheers.
