GrannyGrump · 07-15-2016, 01:14 AM

I prefer using Calibre to convert epub to old mobi --- it is MUCH more trustworthy to honor my epub css than Kindlegen, which ignores a lot of things (text-indent: 0; top and bottom margins, and others).

I do see one MINOR problem with the Calibre conversion. Horizontal Rules <hr /> never seem to go the full width of the screen even if I specify width: 100%. It is displaying at about 50 - 60% of the width.

I can put up with it even if there is no workaround for this, but can anyone tell me a trick to make the <hr /> go full width?

Thanks for any advice.
