Calibre conversion from ePub to AZW (or anything else) seems to make a mess of HTML code during conversion. Calibre produces verbose, over-constrained, non-semantic code in epub conversion.

For example:
ePub code: <h2>Chapter One</h2>
becomes after conversion:
<p class="caliber_14"><span class="bold"><span class="italic">Chapter One</span></span></p>

In addition, ordinary para tags are classed and spanned willy-nilly. Is it really necessary to change structural HTML so radically in this operation? Is there a way to potty-train Calibre in this respect?
In my experience calibre does an excellent job of taking garage in and producing workable out put.

You need to check your source files.
