McKnitter · 01-05-2023, 01:22 AM

I've sent epubs to Kindle to convert and had those weird markup marks instead of some punctuation (I assume) all through the text. My workaround has been to use Calibre to convert the epub to mobi and then back to epub, and that seems to work.

I don't know why Amazon won't allow mobi files to be sent for conversion as well as epubs. I haven't figured out how to import epubs as UTF-8, if that's what is needed, so meanwhile, I'm doing the back-and-forth conversion in Calibre.

Any suggestions for easier conversion welcome. (I'm using Calibre 6.1 still.)
