Hi Guys,

I am pretty new to the conversion software (Calibre).

I have some books in Epub format that I want to transfer to my Kindel, I am doing this by covertng the EPUB file to a Mobi File, and then renaming the extension of .AZW, this all works fine and the software is great.

I do have a problem though with the left margin when they turn up in the kindel the text appears to have a tab or something on it, that is forcing the main body of the text out by a couple of centimeters. (I have included a picture)

I converted the same file to PDF & sent to amazon to convert to an AZW and whatever they have done gets the text to be in the correct position.

Does any one have any ideas on how I can get this sorted in Caliber, I have tried most of the settings, removing the cover picture, removing TOC etc etc nothing seems to fix it.

Thanks
Rob
