Not without a Kindle (anyone want to send me one? ) as I'm not sure where in the recipe the Kindle is picking up the masthead.

However, the masthead is only used in a few places in an EPUB. Open the EPUB, find the masthead and change the css file to modify its properties, then convert the EPUB to whatever format Kindle uses and see if that fixes it. If so, modify the extra_css in your recipe to make the same change.

If you have a problem understanding this, take it a step at a time, and let me know which step you have trouble with.
