I have two questions about converting from ePub to mobi with calibre. At least one of them I know has been dealt with before, but I can't find the answer.

The background is that I have just started putting some dead tree books for a small publisher into ePub, and from there converting to mobi for the Kindle. I know that the underlying XHTML and style sheet validate according to W3C standards, and I know that the ePub validates with ePubcheck.

Question 1: Covers. The ePub contains a cover page, which seems to be repeated in the mobi conversion. How do I prevent the occurrence of two cover pages?

Question 2: The margins on the mobi version are wider than set in the style sheet for the ePub version. calibre has a setting for page margins; it seems as though the margins in the mobi version are the sum of those set in the stylesheet and those set in calibre. Can I set the calibre margins to zero, and get the margins I've set in the style sheet? Is there another way of ensuring that the margins in the mobi version are the same as those set in the ePub version?
