O, that's possible. It just makes it a lot harder to do consistent formatting. You /can/ make books that render the same, you must just never use the relative size construction. Or anything that might make Kindlegen generate it for you.
I wouldn't mind so much if Kindlegen converted everything to absolute font sizes, which it could do, since it knows what the current font size is and can adjust accordingly, but it actually generates relative font size tags.
The frustration isn't that there isn't a work-around. It's that the problem is so stupid and that it should never have been a problem in the first place. And the work-around is rather ugly. And it makes creating an ePub and a Kindle ebook at the same time from the same source much more difficult than it should be.
Blast Amazon! Just writing this has made me cross again about how completely unnecessary this entire mess it. Curse them and crush them!
