Interesting Discovery

I've been downloading Kindle books and importing them into Calibre for years. I'd then convert them to ePub format. Since Amazon switched from Mobi to ePub, I figured I'd try using the Kindle Unpack plugin and it does work fine. However, I found a major difference between doing a CONVERSION vs UNPACKING to get an ePub I can use. ePubs from both methods can be read just fine but there is a type size problem. In Converted books on my eReader application (MapleRead SE), I can resize the type without a problem but Unpacked books, while the application shows the type size can be changed, it actually never changes. I don't know why the type size can't be changed because of something in Calibre and Kindle Unpack not working properly or if there is something in the Unpacked ePub that blocks the resizing in the application. So it looks like I have to go back to the long way of converting.
