Hi,

I have an EPUB in Arabic. It is right to left. It shows fine on Apple Books. However, when sent to kindle paper white, paragraphs directions changes.

Kindle: Headers stays rtl but paragraphs are ltr.
iPhone Kindle app: alignment is rtl but the words are ltr. i.e. I must read from left to right to make sense of the sentences even though lines are aligned to the right.

I know the underlying technique for sending ePub to kindle is converting to AZW3. Is this a problem with AZW3?

I do not have any CSS files.
