Blockquotes are the only possible way to achieve left indented (increased left-margin) text in MOBI. The more margin needed ... the more blockquote nesting is done to achieve it. No way around it. Right margins just aren't happening (in MOBI). Period. It's a limitation of the MOBI format you're up against, not a conversion issue. There are no "true margins" in MOBI.

If HTMLZ is the ultimate goal, can I ask why you're including MOBI as an intermediate step?
