One observation is that the Kindle file has extension .azw but shows up in Calibre as .azw3. Is this significant? I have to admit that I do not understand what is going on especially as the second try was via a Kindle format. Ideas please.
Problem solved in a round about way so can now transfer title to PRS-T2.

Glad it worked. I would not go the pdf route, but maybe I have been brainwashed My pdf to epub conversions are actually usually successful if the input pdf is standard.

Anyway congrats on getting the book readable on your ereader, which is always my first priority. If it is good enough to read, I don't worry about the internal CSS, philistine that I am.
