I tried converting to azw.. used a default setting (since I've never converted to azw before). but it still won't work (actually none of the italics is working).
attached are four screen shots...
1. the html code viewed in the calibre editor (and its previewer showing correct italics)
2. stylesheet.css that is in this epub file (very simple)
3. ebook reader in calibre (showing italics correctly)
3. Kindle Previewer3 using the azw3 conversion (no italics shows up)
I did get an error when trying kindle previewer (and yes. I did manually open the .azw3 file, and not mobi):
"Enhanced Typesetting preview is not supported for this book since the Mobi file that has been created by an older version of Kindlegen or by 3rd party tools..."
I attach the entire epub and the azw3 converted file too. (original epub is a download from Internet Archive, and I'm just trying to clean up the scan errors and typesetting errors so I can read it on my Kindle.. and yes, re-add the italics it lost during the "translation")
