Left and Right margin issue

Waylander · 11-21-2018, 06:10 PM

I'm trying to convert a book from Mobi to AZW3. The left and right margins are much wider than normal, meaning I get less text on the page. I've tried removing margins, removing fake margins, and setting left and right margins to 0. What
am I doing wrong?

Without seeing the book or HTML/CSS samples, it's hard to say. Perhaps an issue with padding?

The code tells all. I have seen so many different ways. Some had me pulling on my hair (what little was left). Could be multiple levels accumulating.. Check the @page, Body, Outside level divs

Pretty your AZW3 code, so indent levels are more obvious.

The preview pane has a code explorer and a 'computed' values on the sidebar
