I have an HTML file with pictures being wrapped around with text, and Calibre successfully converted it into epub that retained the text-wrapping (screenshot of Google Play Books Android app). I converted the same HTML file to mobi, but the text-wrapping was not retained (screenshot of Kindle Android app). Notice the font size of the picture caption also differs in the two. The epub retains the correct font size from the HTML and the mobi doesn't. Am I missing something or is such text-wrapping not supported in mobi? The HTML file is from this Gutenberg book named "Trilby" (where the classic character "Svengali" came from). Only the HTML version of the book has the text-wrapping I mentioned. The epub and mobi versions do not.
