OK, that is definitely the right one.

I do not know of any reason that your different CSS files should be any problem as long as the correctly follow the schema and can pass epubcheck 1.0.5. I have some EPUB books done with Calibre that all seemed to work reasonably correctly. I do not use Calibre to build EPUB files because my primary interest is in FB2 files which Calibre is terribly incompetent in producing. I sometimes use Calibre to convert a book file into an RTF file, and then use BookDesigner to clean up the errors introduced by the conversion. Then I have BookDesigner output an FB2 book using utf-8 character encoding. That file is then ready for my reader as a very nicely formated book. To make an EPUB from the FB2 file I use the FB2EPUB program to create a totally specification compliant EPUB file that passes epubcheck 1.0.5 testing. I usually clean up the TOC after that using Sigil, which also produces a file passing epubcheck 1.0.5. Since I use fb2epub to generate my EPUB files all my CSS files are the same. I do not think that the sameness matters as much as the fact my EPUB files pass epubcheck 1.0.5.

That also sounds like a CSS problem since all those kinds of style issues should be handled in the CSS.

I am sorry but I can't be much help there since I very seldom use Calibre. I am quite unhappy with it's FB2 conversions, and I do not need a library manager.
