I have a weird problem that seems to only affect books by ONE author and ONLY in MapleRead SE.

OK, I buy a book from the author via Amazon in the .AZW format. I import it into Calibre, convert it to ePub, export it out of Calibre, and import it into MapleRead on my iPad Mini. So far so good. I then start to read the book and the problem starts. The first page of each chapter is OK but the on second page the text has shifted approx. 1 character to the left so that the first character column on the second page of the chapter is on the right of the first page. This keeps repeating until the end of the chapter so that the next page in the chapter has 1 character LESS than the page number. For example, page 3 of the chapter will have 2 character columns, page 6, 7 character columns, etc. This goes to the end of the chapter then starts over in the next chapter.

I've asked the author about this but he can't figure it out. However he is always kind enough to send an ePub copy of the book from before the book was sent to Amazon, which works just fine in MapleRead SE. I decided to see what happens if I used a different ePub reader so I imported the ePub exported from Calibre after conversion from AZW into iBooks on my iMac then synced it to the iBooks.ipa app on the iPad Mini and the formatting is spot on.

So I wonder why the problem shows up in MapleRead SE. Meanwhile I'll use iBooks just for this one author. Any ideas?

MapleRead SE 5.3.1.ipa & iBooks 4.13.ipa on the iPad Mini; iBooks 1.15.app on my iMac, synced via iTunes 12.8.3.1 on the iMac.
