oh come on.

*Every* book I tested was giving me this, right?

So I tossed a small one on that message, to avoid over-loading the attachment.

...
You're right, that one is working fine. And that one has "em" for the indentation.

Code:
p { text-indent: 2em;
Checking others shows that the change occurred on a specific date -- anything newer than that date has the problem, anything older does NOT.

... and conversion uses "em" in the converted mobi. (found it in .calibre1), which explains why it was working on the kindles.

sigh. For what it's worth, here's my personal.ini, and I'm changing that indent from en to em.

I remember making that change because the font width of characters can vary, and I wanted a given number of average letters regardless of display font. It never occurred to me that "en" and "em" were not equally valid, given that I see both in the css's on webpages when I inspect source in firefox or chrome.

(in fact, can I toss an ebook at my browser? ... nope, unless it's book.html from old format kindle mobi unpack, and even then it doesn't indent --
Code:
<p height="0pt" width="5em" align="left">
doesn't actually indent 5em on the browser. It does on the kindle (just did a fresh send to device to make sure I'm not testing the wrong version.)

Oh -- .ini is not a supported upload attachment type. :-)
