I know, because I constantly have to fix many mobi's whose creators think it's a good idea to have no paragraph indents whatsoever.
That doesn't tell me if the latest generation Calibre mobi files or the Kindle files from InDesign are "coded" properly. I assume the latter one is as the plug-in is Kindle's own development, but I don't know about Calibre.

Part of the problem as you know was that Kindle was NOT honoring block paragraphs but rather changing the HTML code upon conversion to add the first line indent, or the Kindle device itself is programmed to add the indent regardless of the HTML code, whichever was the case, and Kindle still say on their website that they indent everything, which is why I am asking. All my tests show everything copacetic but I don't want any surprises when I upload to Kindle. Which is why I am asking.

Cheers,
