Good guess, but nope. Here is a sample of the crappy HTML inside Turn Coat (mobi/Kindle edition):

Quote:
<div height="1em" width="1em"><font size="3">“So I could leave you hanging out to dry.”</font></div>
<div height="1em"></div>
<div height="1em" width="1em"><font size="3">“You could.”</font></div>
<div height="1em"></div>
<div height="1em" width="1em"><font size="3">“But if I did that, we wouldn’t find the traitor. And since you’d died in his place, he’d be free to continue operating. More people would get killed, and the next person he framed—”</font></div>
<div height="1em"></div>
No style sheet -- just the same godawful markup on every. single. paragraph. If I wanted to make up a sample of bad formatting, I'm not sure I could've gotten it quite this bad.
