I'm going back to a file I'm working on today and replacing all the ss calls to the external ss and see if this resolves the problem with the epub->mobi conversion issue.
I've abruptly discovered that a BUNCH of books I've done lately (and converted from epub->mobi) have no indented paragraphs, despite being styled that way with text:indent in the external css, and working fine in epubs. I figured I would start here.
(For those of you discussing CSS).
NEVER MIND!! note to self: do NOT name css styles beginning with numbers. Calibre HATES it.

What you describe is downright scarey! I have had no problem converting Sigil ePub to MOBI using Calibre. I use an external CSS.
e.g.
Code:
p {
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 5px 0;
text-indent: 1.5em;
}
Please let us know what you find.
The only thing I really dont't like is the putrid blue/purple color of the links.
Code:
a {
color: #000000;
}
doesn't work.
