just happened across your thread and thought I'd share though I don't understand exactly what you are doing.....

You are converting html? I make nice eBooks by dropping the html into "Pages" (Mac app) , and then using eBook Styles (Apple has a "Best Practices" document to use as a template) to set set main text, headings, captions, then export as an ePub book. (Search for "ePub" in Pages help.) I then place the ePub into Calibre where a click converts it to .mobi for the Kindle app on my iPad.

If this doesn't apply then please ignore, and I'm sorry to butt in.....
