Bold text

Does anyone know how to make all text bold when converting from epub to mobi?

I have no clue if this will work (I use AZW3)
In the conversion DIALOG for that book: Look & Feel: Styling (tab):

Code:

p {style="font-weight: bold;}

?? Is there a reason you use Mobi on a device that supports the newer AZW3

You do not need to make all of your text bold. You can use the setting in the Aa menu to increase the weight of the font being used. You can set it to what works for you. That means that bold text wiill remain bold as it will be darker then regular text.

Also I agree with @theducks that you should convert to KF8 (AZW3) as it will gie you a better reading experience with more features such as increasing the font weight.

For that option to be available you do have to convert to azw3, not to mobi.

Yes, but you didn't say that without converting to azw3 the font weight option is not available at all.
