Thanks for the help everyone. Even InDesign tech support didn't know it was the FONT I was using. COURIOR NEW. Thanks James for suggesting it was the fonts. Whew.... back to the drawing board to change it all.

Both Apple and Kindle Previewer 3 - they both shows words together.

Was with InDesign tech support for well over an hour. They had control of my screen and we worked it and didn't fix it, frustrating. I worked on it some more by myself, ended up having to use other words - weird. And looking closer I now see it thoughout the Ebook doc - and not in the inDesign doc. Mercury Retro> WTF???? I'll keep trying, hacking around.


Fixed EPUB is not a reliable format in and of itself, and EPUB readers vary in presenting it even more than reflowable. There is no specific reason this should be happening; it's usually a collision of the format, the fonts and the reader.

 

If your goal is a Kindle edition to go with the print book, consider reflowable EPUB instead.
