Doh!, color! I forgot to add that to my written oeb2mobi todo list and apparently thus forgot to add color support to oeb2mobi. Watch for it in a later release...

I actually had tested converting that edition of Alice, but only with oeb2mobi. It's possible I introduced a regression, or that the error is in the any2* plumbing... I'll take a look this evening.

The extra spacing is added by the any2* option '--remove-paragraph-spacing'. Which, um, presently seems to be on by default with no way to turn it off. Kovid, am I missing something?

Mobipocket doesn't support font-embedding, so not much to be done there.

No idea why that's happening... I'll have to grab a copy and see what's up.
