Calibre is a library system, and a damn fine one, but it is NOT a production tool for professional production (for Kindle books for SALE).

I've seen this mentioned before and I can say that this is definitely not true, at least for me.

I have Kindle4PC and I've never had the first problem with any of my Calibre conversions displaying.

I can't vouch for any of the other Kindle4whatever apps.
