A book which is in EPUB format and has been converted to AZW3 by Calibre is (in an odd way) completely reversed when viewed on a Kindle or with the Calibre viewer. The original EPUB displays correctly in the Viewer, and when converted to a HTML file does so in FireFox. The AZW3 opens to the table of contents. If one goes to chapter 1 it opens to that, but to progress one must give a "previous page" signal (left side of Kindle, left arrow in the browser). The pages display correctly, regardless of font size or browser window size.

I am attaching the EPUB format, which works. Converting it to AZW2, for me, produces the backwards version. Should I attach my "bad" copy as well?

Any ideas how to fix this?
