Help with left-aligning news sources

gordon_ramaswamy · 08-12-2017, 02:25 AM

I use Calibre to download the economist every week, along with other news sources; which is one of my favourite uses for the Kindle. However, it always seem to justify the text instead of left aligning it, like I have made as the default setting for whenever converting a book to Mobi.

Therefore, would anyone to help me in some way that would allow me to left justify the economist automatically instead of making me convert it each and every time? I tried searching for it on the forums though I barely understand how to change plug-ins etc. I’m still a Calibre noob largely.

Thanks a lot for your help.

For kindle's news is downloaded in the mobi format, to make use of the kindles, periodical related features. As far as I recall, that format does not allow controlling of juystification. SO you will have to convert to azw3 to change justification.
