Thank you for the responses! After I posted the question and spent the evening reading random (seemingly) related threads, I found that CSS is not part of the .mobi file. Gah.

What seems to work: replace the <q class...> tags with <span> and style the spans appropriately; that then translates in text without the quotes. Both, kindlegen and Calibre seem to add the quotation marks automatically (independently of the styling) and I couldn't find how to disable that.

As for the statement above that kindlegen is the "ultimate" converter: well, it did a very poor job with my Pali characters, and I dropped it immediately. I tried Calibre and that hasn't messed up things. Yet :-)

What about the bullet lists?

Cheers!
