I have a library of mobi books and a Sony PRS 650 Reader. I am using Calibre to convert my books to EPUB format for reading on the Sony.

For the most part (about two thirds of the books) the conversion works fine and I get a consistent font size and line spacing. Most of the remaining books end up with font sizes that are very small and a few with font sized that are very large.

I tried the small and medium font size settings on the Sony but there is a big size difference between the two so I cannot get a consistent size for fonts and line spacing across all my books.

I have tried several base font size and line spacing settings in Calibre without much success.

My question is how can I achieve a consistent EPUB font size and line spacing for my mobi books during conversion.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Simple answer is.. YOU CAN'T. Not all Mobipocket eBooks are alike. And because of this, you won't get consistent conversions. The best you can do is after the conversions of the ones you don't like, you can go into the ePub and edit the CSS to fit your needs. I do it all the time and in the end, I have an ePub that looks good.
