No, but it sounds like I need to give Sigil a try.

I'm flabbergasted at how many books I can load onto my new kindle and as a result I've gone buck wild putting public domain books on it. And as a result of that I don't look at the conversion of each one and then it's irritating when I open one and find the formatting is wacko.

I also like a ragged right margin. If there's some likely to be successful conversion recipe that people use I'd love to hear about it. Also a list of best practices when adding public domain books would be helpful; in the beginning I was mistakenly under the impression that mobi was a better format to download and start with but now I'm using epub.
