[QUOTE=Rbneader;3653990]Wow, is the epub formatting really that bad?[/QUOTES]
Visualize an epub where all the styles are inline (stylesheets? we don't need no stinkin' stylesheets!) and all the text is in a single file which looks suspiciously like the output of a save to html by a word processor, in this case Aspose.Words for .Net. Try editing that for gits and shiggles. The .mobi isn't that much prettier but at least the calibre conversion added the in-line styles to a stylesheet. |

Calibre also takes the inline styles from the ePub and makes a stylesheet. But it's still not pretty. Basically, I just ignore Phoenix Pick because their eBooks are not worth my time to make them readable.
