When I try to convert to mobi all the paragraph spaces are gone, but the most annoying is that instead of hyphen (-) symbol I get this: 3/4.

This is how I convert: I opened my book in MS2010 and saved it as HTML. Then I imported it into Calibre. From there I converted into epub. I checked it and the result was great as expected. Formatting (spaces, hyphens, etc) was all there. Finally, I used that epub to convert it to mobi. No errors during the conversion process, but the end result were a mess: no paragraph spaces, instead of the hyphen symbol there is a ¾, and lots of blank pages.

I tried using different conversion methods, from epub, PDF, etc but the result once I convert into mobi is always the same ¿Any ideas?

Thanks!
