Done the RTF/Calibre thing now. Mixed success.

On Stanza it was perfect.
On iBooks, I could change and scale fonts, but for some reason, at the start of each chapter, the text in the first paragraph was scrunched up. The only thing that was different about those paragraphs was that there was no first-line indent in the RTF file. The other paras all started with an indent. I had made sure in the original Word file that all the letter spacings were set at normal.
On Kobo it again just delivered blank pages.
