There are quite a few formatting changes - random size changes, differences in line height in some poems, some titles are not in bold.
I thought I'd had a brainwave this morning and tried saving the file as PDF and then converting to .mobi. Much worse, with line and page breaks missing in many cases.
What would be the best way to put the file into Calibre for conversion? The only other option i can think of is to convert the RTF to HTML, make sure that's consistent and then convert to .mobi, perhaps? It seems a bit long winded though.
Does anyone have any suggestions, please?
TIA

PDF is just plain BAD for conversion and small screens.
Unless you design the PDF for the screen size and shape (and don't plan on converting).
HTML (filtered) is very adjustable (and the basis of other formats)
You might wander down to the EPUB forum and read around the sticky area.
Poetry is one of the trickier layouts to get looking right.
