Margins on ePub sent with SendtoKindle

[nuovodna]

Hi,
i send ePub to my Kindle PW last gen with SendtoKindle website but i have a problem.
The bottom margin of ebook appear irregular on my Kindle, on some page there is too much white space in the bottom. How can i uniform?

I tried with Calibre settings margins to zeros and add custom CSS

body {orphans: 0; widows: 0}

but nothing has changed.

Thank you

Did you remove any other widows and orphans in the CSS?, if not you should try adding !important And please note that widows and orphans set to 0 is an undefined condition—the minimum for widows and orphans is 1. BTW, the ; on the last line is not required but it's a good idea to include it since I've seen several occasions where someone has added code after the original last line and the results have been interesting (for certain values of interesting).

i.e.

body {
 orphans: 1 !important;
 widows: 1 !important;
}

I would suggest getting acquainted with either or both of Sigil & calibre's ebook editor and the epubcheck plugin for them.

And as a final note, trying converting epub to azw3 with calibre and then sending that azw3 to your Kindle using a USB connection. You can compare the result of this to the same ePub sent via SendToKindle. This can help with sorting issues due Amazon's SendToKindle conversion pipeline.

Using your css and switching to epub 3 works.
Thanks for your support!
