I did “save a copy” and emailed that to Bezos land. Clunky but I wanted to read the book last night and it was fixed in a few minutes. It didn’t occur to me to try reforming from epub to epub. I’d only used Calibre to go from epub to mobi and then use their API to email the converted document to Amazon.

So I did an epub to epub conversion in Calibre and that works perfectly. I emailed the converted file directly rather than let Calibre do it.
Thanks for the tip.
