Every epub I've ever converted in Calibre has had this issue. What I've always done is unzip the epub, edit each and every xhtml file inside the epub individually to remove the entire stylesheet, and then rezip the files and rename to epub again. I also, while I'm at it, get rid of the extra <p></p> that, in every epub I've ever encountered, cause there to be an extra space between paragraphs that Calibre will not (or at least I've been unable to make it) delete.

Is there any possibility of creating within Calibre some sort of shortcut for solving this, rather than having to go through this laborious process every time? I can't figure out a way to create css to override the epub margins, or a way to delete the extra space between paragraphs - but since this seems, in my own experience at least, to be a universal problem with epub->mobi conversion (again, I have never *not* encountered this when doing such a conversion), perhaps Calibre might be able to accommodate it?
