Help removing bold text

Hi everyone. I almost never use Sigil so I know I'm probably doing something wrong but here's my problem.

I downloaded a copy of The Great Gatsby from MobileRead. The problem is that all of the text is in bold font, which makes it unreadable for me. I went into Sigil, selected all the text, and selected "remove formatting" (ctrl-space). This removed the bold, but also removed the indenting of the paragraphs, which I don't want.

(Please note that just hitting "bold" does nothing, or I would have done this. The only way I've found to remove the bold text is to select "remove formatting.")

Now I save the epub, then open it up in Calibre. Everything looks fine, the bold is gone, but the paragraphs are no longer indented.

Now I do an epub-to-epub conversion, selecting "remove spacing between paragraphs" so that I can tell it to indent each paragraph by 1.5 em. When it's done, if I open up the book, the indenting is there but ALL of the text is bold once again.

I can't figure out how to have un-bold text and indented paragraphs simultaneously. Help?
