Unhappy Footnote problem with Epub conversion from InDesign
Hi everyone,

Anyone encountered this problem?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/p7mt951ma4...-3917.png?dl=0

I tried everything but still the footnote popup is acting weird.

Thank you.

By the way, the way it was converted via InDesign epub v2. and converted to mobi using kindle previewer. I also tried using calibre but still getting the same result.

What do you find weird about it?
What did you expect to see instead of that?

Don't convert to Mobi. It's obsolete. Convert to KF8 or KFX.

There is an indent on the first line. While reading some on kindle paperwhite does not have this and they are left aligned. What do you think affects the spacing?

This is the sample of footnote taken from other ebooks.

Thank you. What software do you use for conversion? I used kindle previewer and converts it to mobi. I also use calibre for mobi and azw3.

Kindle previewer is fine. Just because it has a mobi extension does not necessarily mean it is a mobi format. The Kindle previewer output file is actually 2 file formats, one mobi and one kf8. It is quite a bit bigger that it would need to be but the reader selects the one it wants to use. It is possible to split the file into two separate ones if you wish to trim the size.

Thank you. Yes, I always use kindle previewer as Calibre strips the kf8 version I mean not strip but don't include it and the borders gone missing. I corrected the issue already. It is because of the formatting from the InDesign stylesheet caused the problem. I deleted the stylesheet and created a new one using sigil. I cleaned up all the formatting came from InDesign epub conversion.
