(All on "clean" copies of the mobi files.) I even uninstalled and reinstalled Calibre to restore the defaults. (Odd quirk of Calibre that it retains your previous choices as defaults - no doubt you can turn that feature off somewhere. Must look.) I must be checking or NOT checking some feature, or confusing the issue with incorrect combinations. But I don't know which, or what I have done that's incorrect.

The Calibre code after conversion is showing indents, top-bottom margins, what look like correct <p> texttexttext </p> codes etc., so I am truly stumped. Other things that are not being read correctly are drop caps, chapter numbers aren't always centered, no lines/space below the chapter title etc. In other words I am basically looking at no style/formatting other than paragraph breaks. (TOC and chapters are fine.) Free epub ebooks show indents in my reader, so it is a Calibre+Geriatric Operator conversion issue.

I really do hate to let something like this beat me, but I'm close to surrender.
NOTE: Re-installing Calibre does NOT restore defaults (they are stored and carry over, even if you uninstall.)

1) You can reset ALL default Preference using the button in the Upper Right


2) Conversion settings that have been used are stored with the book and can be cleared with the reset (to current defaults) with a button on the conversions form. You can make FURTHER (fine tune) adjust to the settings from preferences, these will only apply to this book.

To get the book to again, convert with defaults, you need to do #1 THEN #2 to be back at 'factory default' settings.
