"Insert blank line between paragraphs" usually sets it to flush. If that doesn't work try changing Look&Feel tab paragraph indent size to zero. If none of that works, uncheck the paragraph line settings and try: Heuristic tab check yes Heuristic processing which may cause other problems. If that doesn't work I'm stumped, report back and someone will be along eventually who knows the right answer. Or ask in Kindle forum linked below.
I don't know enough HTML yet to even try to answer that one, but you might get a quicker response asking again in the eBook Readers forum (section above the calibre forum on the main Forums page, in the Kindle sub-forum). Edit2: Oops, link didn't work, this does: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=140.
Or someone may be along here in awhile who knows the answer.
Please report back and let me know how it goes.
Edit: Oh, BTW, if the Kindle sub-forum doesn't help, the calibre Conversion sub-forum might know those answers too. And "Remove spacing between paragraphs" adds whatever indent is set in the paragraph indent box in Look&Feel tab, while "Add spacing between paragraphs" removes that I think. Both globally on all paragraphs. So for how to have both flush and indented in same book in same conversion process, I'm stumped. Edit: Sorry I didn't think earlier to put this paragraph at the beginning.

Well... this is probably the right place, but I didn't quite figure out what was supposed to happen.
There is a field that displays what indent it will apply to paragraphs, but it is dimmed out unless I check BOTH add space between paragraphs and remove space between paragraphs.
I worked with it for some time without figuring out what it was supposed to do.
All I wanted to do was make Calibre quit over-riding my first line indents.
I finally checked both "add space" between paragraphs and "remove space" between paragraphs, and changed the indent value to 0...
That resulted in block paragraphs with space between them and no first line indents.
That wasn't what I wanted, but it did the job. I just changed my format to "block paragraphs with space between" instead of "first line indented paragraphs with no space between.
Thanks,
CJ
