Bibliography Conversion Issues - ePub to Mobi
How can I create a bibliography in ePub so that it displays correctly when converted to mobi format?
I have created a bibliography with hanging indents and spaces between paragraphs in Sigil, where it displays correctly. I then checked the formatting in Calibre, where it also shows up fine, before exporting the ePub file to mobi. The converted mobi-file does not display any of the formatting correctly in either the Kindle Fire Previewer or the Kindle for PC (see image below): a. spaces between some paragraphs (but not all) have been removed, b. words have been broken up, and c. the hanging indent has been removed. I would appreciate some guidance on how to solve this problem. |

As I have suggested before, use Bluefire Reader for Android. Then when you have an ePub like this that doesn't convert well, you can just read the ePub.

Quote:
a: Spaces between paragraphs need to be styled using margin-top in the style, preferably with the units being em (e.g. margin-top: 1em;)
b: I see no broken words in your screen shots. ??? Note that word spacing will vary if you style the paragraphs to be justified. To avoid uneven word spacing use text-align: right;. c: MOBI supports neither negative indents nor padding. For successful conversion these must not be used in the ePub. |
