I've been building books for the Kindle using the DocBook ePub transform, followed by running kindlegen to get mobi.
There is a glitch in the Kindle (and possibly some browsers) that causes a line break following the number/symbol in an ordered/itemized listitem. The following shows what this looks like: 1. The line that should be after "1." has a line break in front of it. This seems to happen because the DocBook transforms generate the following html for a list item, and I suspect the <p> forces a break: <li><p>The line that ....</p></li> This renders fine in many of the kindle emulators, and in epub in a variety of contexts, but not on an actual kindle. When I manually remove the <p></p> wrapper, then re-gen the mobi, the kindle renders this correctly. I'm about to dive in and do a little xsl programming to clean this up, but it seemed like a common enough problem that someone might have already fixed this, and would be willing to share the solution. If not, I'll hack away, and if I get something useful, I'll share it with the list.
