In Kindle Previewer 3.31.0 I opened an EPUB I created in Sigil and then exported it, which makes a dual MOBI. I then used the KindleUnpack plugin in Calibre to extract the AZW3/KF8 and old MOBI files. I then added the old MOBI to Calibre and sent it to my old Kindle Touch (with the latest firmware for it) and opened it there.

After the first title page all of the text is like this, in italics.

The book is a collection of short stories by the same author and each short story is in a separate xhtml file and each short story has preceding it a separate xhtml file that is its title page. For the first title page the text is correct, not italics. The first story starts with a lead in/bridge that is in a blockquote and that is in italics, so I'm guessing that it's the problem.

Any suggestions for how to fix this?
