Anyway, I have noticed a few times over the years that books I had as epubs in my calibre when I loaded them on my Kobo had various formatting issues. Things like margins changing mid chapters to be much wider than they were the paragraph before, various font issues etc. In those times, I usually said screw it and set the Kobo aside and continued on with a Kindle.
I realize the plugin tools and even Calibre itself are always being updated and improved. I am wondering if at some point I should delete all the converted epubs in my Calibre library and then reconvert all the AZW3 into epubs again after making sure Calibre and all the plug-ins are up to date?
PS - and trying to consider going fully Kobo if I cannot properly liberate any future Kindle purchases.

If the source of these funky eBooks is FK8 (azw3), install the Kindleunpack plugin and use that to shift from KF8 to ePub. Then take the ePub and load it into the editor. Use epubcheck (an editor plugin) along with the calibre editor error checker to check for any errors fix all of the errors and then you are good to go.
