In that case you should not use Calibre to convert your ePubs. Calibre can read the new KF8 format, but cannot write it. Whenever it encounters styles not supported by the old MOBI format it tries its best to replace them with HTML code that older Kindles and other readers and apps with MOBI support can display.
Since KF8 offers a much better ePub support and Amazon plans to add KF8 support to all Kindle apps you're better off generating hybrid Mobi/KF8 files with the Kindle Previewer or Kindlegen 2.
BTW, you can use media queries to specify different styles for the Kindle Fire and older Kindles.
For an example see Liz Castro's excellent article "Media Queries for formatting Poetry on Kindle and EPUB."
