Are you aware of Amazon's guide to the Kindle?

Oh yes. Note on Page 7 the item about paragraph formatting doesn't say that if you use negative indents with ems then they won't work on Kindle for Mac or Kindle for PC.

It also has nothing to say about font sizes.

Amazon's Kindle formatting guidelines are quite poor in terms of precise detail. If you just want paragraphs of plain text they're fine.

I think it's the inconsistency between the different Kindle platforms that upsets me most.
