Maintaining Styles when Converting to MOBI?
Hi,
When I use Calibre to convert to MOBI, all the text gets converted to a different style so that the resulting MOBI looks very rough. Is there a way to maintain the formatting and styles when converting to MOBI? |

As Kovid implied, the legacy MOBI format does not support nearly as many formatting niceties as the more modern ePub and AZW3 formats. It is quite possible to create nice looking ebooks in MOBI, but it requires building an original that doesn't rely on any elaborate formatting.
