Formatting of converted kepub not working on Kobo

Hi Guys,

I am new to the forums, so please accept my apologies if this is not the correct thread.

I used to use the Kobo app on my Android phone. I have now just bought a Kobo Glo and have uploaded a bunch of books to such using Calibre.

I have all of the Kobo plugins installed (utilities, metadata etc.) in Calibre.

I have set Calibre up so that it automatically converts imported files to the kepub format.

I checked a few books and all seems ok, initially.

I started reading a book last night, it works fine, can change font etc. But I have the following issues:
  • Pages start halfway down the page (so one page will start in the middle of the current page and end in the middle of the next page).
  • Annotations (by the author) are not distinguished from the rest of the text.
  • Some text seems to stay 'bold' even when changing the font. These will be random sentences, not in any way emphasized.
  • Sometimes words will be re ndere d l ik e t h is.

Is this all just related to my original epub? How can I verify/correct this? Is there some setting I need to set so that it renders correctly for my Glo?

I never really had this issue with my Android, but these are newly imported books so I am not sure..

TIA for any advice.
