Epub to MOBI

Ebenist · 04-28-2010, 05:48 AM

I recently converted an E-book from Epub to MOBI using Calibre. When I transfered the book to my Kindle DX the text size was very small and difficult to read. The pages, though extending the full width of the Kindle screen, only filled about half it's height.
Also, when I tried to use the "change text size" or the "number of words per line" function, there was no change whatsoever to the page appearance! Each page of text seems to act as if it were a picture, in that, the cursor cannot be placed on an individual word, but triggers the "zoom" function.
Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
