[STrRedWolf]

I'm near tearing my hair out here. I'm trying to get my novel into an AZW3 and... the images are not handling right. I'm using LibreOffice, and Calibre 4.99.12 (based off of my Xubuntu 20.10 install).

If I convert it off the ODT file, and upload it to a Kindle Paperwhite to test, the "Among the Throng" header I use for in-story blog posts is shifted to the right. If I move the image out from an H2, it shifts closer, but it has a "left" CSS entry that the Kindle seems to enforce.

If I save the ODT into DOCX format, convert the DOCX, and then upload it, the side "avatar" image for who's writing the blog post blows up to near full-screen on the Kindle. The header is *perfect* but the avatar is a mess.

Here's the conversion log for the DOCX:

Any ideas? I've attached a sample chapter that illustrates the problem.
