Then imported the mobi file and converted it back to epub and re-sent the second epub file. That worked and corrected the formatting too. No more symbols.
Is there an alternative way of correcting the formatting errors on the first epub file before sending so that they do arrive on the kindle without them? Or do you think Amazon will include any format corrections as part of the Send To Kindle process when it reaches the kindle or kindle app, without having to firstly do so in Calibre? Many thanks for any help.

Try this simpler process:
- import epub to Calibre
- use the Modify ePub plugin to "Encode HTML in UTF-8"
- send email to one Kindle or app
- use the download option on the second Kindle or app to download the file
This saves you from double-converting, and also allows you to use whispersync since you only have one copy of the file in your Amazon library. If you do want to keep separate bookmarks on the two devices, then you would continue to email to them separately.
