Books are brain food.

.... No, no--licensed. I forget the rates for BookAntiqua, Trebuchet, etc., but if I recall correctly, none were spectacularly cheap.
Thanks! I'll try several em indents and see how it looks on my devices.

Thanks, Notjohn! I've uploaded both epub and mobi in the past but always wondered if one format is more trouble-free than the other at KDP.

The last time KDP suggested a specific change in my CSS, they told me to upload a mobi. I make both files anyway, since I test the Kindlegen-created mobi on my devices and validate an epub online at IDPF before upload.
