.doc to .mobi problem
I saved the .doc document as a .htm file and used Calibre to create the ePUB format. After inserting some images, the ePUB file works like a charm.
However, the same thing cannot be said for the .MOBI format that is used on Kindle. I used Mobipocket Creator and Calibre to convert ePUB to .mobi and neither software works. For some reason, the picture doesn't align well with the text. I want them side by side. Here is the code. It works fine when converting to ePUB format but not .mobi. Below is the picture of the bad format. I want "Example 4.1" to be up. <p class=Standard><img src="sample-for-epub-html_files/4-1-image.PNG" width=285 height=343 style="float:left" hspace=12><b>Example 4.1:</b> This is a spot where you can be a pouncer by betting the turn with the intention of</p> |

I was reading the wiki for .mobi and apparently, one of its formatting limitation is:
"Text cannot flow around images taller than one line of text." I'm not sure if this is the error I'm experiencing. If it is, is there any hack around it? |

Indeed, mobi does not support the "float" property at all. All you can have is the image top-aligned or bottom-aligned with the text, but the second line of text will always come below the image.

I figured out a way how to do it. Use <table> with valign="top" for items in the table.
