I'm trying to get my first ePub published. It's an epub2, and my understanding is that it should work as is with an Apple iBooks reader, Nook and Kobo. But if I want it to work with Kindle, I have to convert it to the .mobi format.

So I opened it in Calibre and converted it to the mobi format.

It looks horrible, like the CSS isn't working the way it's supposed to. In addition, some images display, but most don't.

Is this a common problem? If I can't fix it, then I can just make a PDF version - Kindle can display PDF files, right?
