Correct, although the annoying grey background is supposed to be a grey box around the whole of that paragraph that amazon doesn't display properly (looks brilliant on the ipad... I should remove it from the Amazon version).

Honestly, other than something weird in Vista (boy, THAT was tautologic), I can't imagine what it could be, if it's not font-related, which it seems not to be.

I have no idea -- I don't think so. Should I have tried something specific? I probably just used whatever the default Calibre settings are. What are the encoding options availalbe to me that I should try?

BTW -- when I converted the .epub to .mobi and transferred the .mobi file DIRECTLY to the device (Before uploading it through kdp.amazon.com) everything looked beautiful on the device itself).

Next we're going to try to purchase the product on the device from amazon to see how the paid-for product looks.

Cheers,
