Kindle for iPad previewer - scrunched text

sarah_pnix · 09-01-2011, 03:34 PM

I have created lots of epubs, but don't have much experience with .mobi. I converted an .epub to .mobi using Calibre. In the Kindle Previewer, it looks fine for Kindle, and Kindle DX, but for iPhone and iPad, all the text is tiny and scrunched together on top of itself, completely unreadable. Do you think there is something wrong with the file/css or is this a previewer problem?

I got my hands on an iPad and this .mobi file looks fine in the Kindle app, so it does appear to be a Previewer issue. That's too bad, makes the Previewer a whole lot less useful.

I've never had the previewer do that when in iPad mode before. I check all kinds of MOBI's that way.
