>And do you still upload reflowable ebooks to KDP as epubs?
I do. >Aren't most ebooks only a few MBs? The novels I wrote as a Promising Young Man were about 80,000 words. Uploaded decades later as epubs to the KDP, they run about 500 KB. My heaviest book is 340 pages in the print edition -- maybe 150,000 words -- and has a couple dozen images and maps. It weighs in at 2.5 MB. >you could publish a sample book with various sized images created using KC and see how it looks on an older Kindle. I wish Slowsmile would do just that, before he publishes a guide to using Kindle Create (which to judge from this thread is even less desirable than I previously believed). |

All right, you two--NOT HERE.
It's annoying enough on the Kindle forums. NOT HERE. Hitch |

The CSS in ePub 2 doesn't support media queries. I'll convert the ePub 3 eBook and leave the medial queries and see what happens with ADE 2.0.1.

Here are the media queries that validated in both ePub 2 and ePub 3. I converted the ePub 3 eBook to ePub 2 and it validates no problem. Maybe you last did it with an older epubscheck.
Code:
@media amzn-kf8 { div.body { margin: 0 0 0 0; } body { margin: 0 1.2em 0 1.2em; } img.epub { display: none; } img.sign-up { width: 3.5em; display: inline; } img.fb { width: 1em; display: inline; } } @media amzn-mobi { div.body { margin: 0 0 0 0; } body { margin: 0 1.2em 0 1.2em; } img.epub { display: none; } img.sign-up { width: 3.5em; display: inline; } img.fb { width: 1em; display: inline; } sup { vertical-align: super; font-size: 0.65em; } sub { vertical-align: sub; font-size: 0.65em; } } |

But I'm reasonably sure that all MQ experimentation that we've conducted has lead to not-passing ePUBs. Granted...have we tested it this year? Perhaps not. Not sure...I'll check and post back. Hitch |
