I'm developing a bit more sympathy for some of those badly converted ebooks you buy! - although the Calibre conversion does at least deal properly with accented characters!

Are you suggesting converting to ePub first would also help the formatting?

My choice is to work in EPUB (I use Sigil).
BUT you also need to be aware of what the destination format WON'T do .
It does little good to embed and use a beautiful font only to convert to some format (Mobi) that does not support embedded fonts.

(You will still have a Nifty EPUB )
