Cool Mobi conversion header issues
Since the previous updates conversion from AZW/AZW3/EPUB/MOBI (only formats tried) to MOBI all have the same issues: all are far right of the page.

Title of book = MISTLETOE WISHES

Displays as =
MI
STL
ETO
E

WIS
HES

It does the same with the Author Name, the Table of Contents page(s) and the Chapter Headings of each chapter.

Any idea what's changed?

Two items.

I transferred the .mobi file you attached to a Kindle and it did not display the text in a very narrow column against left edge. So I could not duplicate your issue.

The other item is the more serious one. The book was copyrighted in 2016 and should not have been posted here without being scrambled.

Often caused by multiple, cascaded, <blockquote> lines in the html, or some other silliness the conversion is magnifying. When you hit one of these books, convert to epub first and open it in the editor; fix the offending code and then convert to what you want.
