This worked for all the epubs I've tried so far without the need to tweak or jump through any extra hoops:
In the calibre conversion preferences, under "Look & Feel", add the following to the "Extra CSS" box: body, p, div, .calibre1, .calibre2, .calibre3, .calibre4, .calibre5, .calibre6, .calibre7 { margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; } That should eliminate the left margin. If you guys find that there are more tags or classes that commonly show up in your epubs that have "margin-left" set to something other than 0 , please let me know so we can add it to the list. Hope this helps! I was relieved. |

CSS to remove wide left margin
This is a brilliant fix! - I have literally been struggling with removing the wide left margin for days and your Extra CSS does the job - thank you!

I'm curious, in 0.7.34 Ignore margins was added to the Mobi ouput (see attached). Have you tried this option?

Confirmed fixed in 0.7.35
I just tried the 'ignore margins' option and I can confirm that this fixed the issue for me.
Look under output settings > mobi format > ignore margins. |

Option "Ignore margins" in mobi output
Hi dwanthny, sorry for my delayed reply (holidays). I was unaware of this option, but now I have tried it I can confirm ticking "Ignore margins" under MOBI Output tab works a treat and is simpler to use than adding the custom CSS code.
Thanks for pointing this out. |

Did not work. The author in question added some custom CSS code and some double block quotes to top it off. There was nothing in her books in a block quote so I have no idea why the block quote code other than it was for the Mobi format. She has so much custom CSS code in there it is unbelievable. I guess she thinks it makes for a better looking book. I think it was just beyond Calibre.
