Is it doing that to all books? Have you tried looking at a book downloaded directly from Amazon? (There are lots of free books if you want to do some testing and don't have any purchased from Amazon.)

What is the source of the downloaded text? What conversion options are you using in Calibre?avid said:It does it only to selected texts downloaded from the web, converted with Calibre then uploaded to the Kindle. Books are working just fine.
Me too. I didn't even notice the margin.jmiked said:OK, I completely misunderstood what the question was, which was no doubt about the wide left margin. Doh. I looked at it and only saw the blank spot in the middle of the screen (caused by reflected light, no doubt). I have seen uneven margins in books before, and it's neither the Kindle nor Calibre that is responsible.
Margins can be offset by source material, the Kindle doesn't really control that. It just shows what the HTML code says to do. I think what you need to do it go into Calibre's Convert Book feature and go to MOBI Output and check the box labeled Ignore Margins. That way Calibre will set the margins itself instead of following the margins specified in the text file you got, and change it to the ones specified in the Page Setup part of Convert Books.
I leave the Ignore Margins box checked in my default settings.
