Overlapping Text Upon Conversion
Hi,
Doing some research for my boss. He's been trying to convert an epub into a mobi (using Kindle Previewer, but when he does so, the resulting mobi has overlapping text. The font is Myriad Pro, but other epubs are using that font are often able to convert without difficulty. Does anyone know what causes this and how it can be fixed? |

Impossible to say without seeing examples of the HTML+CSS + maybe showing some screenshots of the problem.
You could also use the Calibre plugin, ScrambleEbook: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=267998 in order to create a sample file we can mess with. I am going to take a stab in the dark and bet there is some CSS letter-spacing shenanigans going on. |

As I noted in the KDP forum, there's really no reason to do that conversion. Upload the epub to the KDP, let it convert online, download the "mobi" for preview. That at least would eliminate one possible source of corruption.
How does the epub itself look, say in Adobe Digital Editions? A good epub should give you a good mobi, or anyhow it has done so for me for five years now. |
