epub to mobi - padding right not working

[1611mac]

I have a friend supplied Pages(Mac) epub. After some short work on it I have the epub displaying on my iPad very well ("use publishers settings" In Bluefire reader.)

However, when I use Calibre to convert to mobi I am losing "padding-right" on block quote type text that is setup with left and right margin. "padding-left" is working great, "padding-right" is not. The text is setting flush to the right margin.

Here is typical epub tag:

<p class="s10 s11">Text is found here.</p>

Here is relevant css (generated by Pages - I have changed "paddinging-left" and "padding-right" from percentage values to "2em":

.s10{
font-size: 56.2500%;
font-style: normal;
font-variant: normal;
font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: 0.0000em;
margin-bottom: 0.0000%;
margin-top: 0.0000%;
padding-left: 2em;
padding-right: 2em;
text-align: justify;
text-decoration: none;
text-indent: 0.0000%;
text-transform: none;
white-space: normal;
}
.s11{
font-size: 62.5000%;
padding-left: 2em;
padding-right: 2em;
}

Can someone tell me why the epub to mobi is not working? Again, I have my left padding, but no right padding.

Thanks in advance.

It's working like it should. The mobi format doesn't support any kind of right margins/padding.

oh well then.... (Obviously I don't work much with .mobi)

Thanks.

No problem.

To be honest... mobi doesn't really support left-margins/padding either. Paragraphs that have a left-margin set through css or inline styles are simply converted to a <blockquote> element... which are then nested to get the level of indentation desired.
