Hi:

I've been experimenting using Word's Save as Web Page, Filtered for upload to Kindle, but as you all probably know, the Kindle does weird things to formatting -- mainly it doesn't respect one's paragraph formatting much (see first attached file). I have found that converting the HTML file to MOBI in Calibre does respect paragraph formatting when tested in both Kindle for PC and Kindle Previewer (see attached two screen shots).

I was elated at first because this seemed like a solution to the problem. But I've been told by a Kindle forum user that:

"Calibre ... is not a suitable mobi production tool, as it lacks the proper amount of spacing in the headers to allow all the "Kindle For X" apps to run (as PC, Mac, and iPad apps all require a 2nd layer of encryption)...I wouldn't want author-publishers to go haring off after Calibre like it's the Holy Grail of ebook production only to find out that buyers were returning books because they couldn't be read on anything but the Kindle Device itself."

Yet, I had a mobi file, that was created in Calibre, converted into Kindle's azw format and it worked fine on my Kindle for PC. This suggests the guy's information is outdated; but before I suggest to others that it WILL work, I'd like to hear from other users or developers.

Thanks,
Michelle
