Hmm.. Thanks for the hint! I just checked and noticed that none of my .html files had the appropriate header

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
but instead only a stripped down version

Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
After I changed the headers, kindlegen produced a .mobi file with decent Pali encoding, and even the bullets of the lists are gone.



Now: Can I strip the .mobi of all the overhead that is embedded in it?
