Ephraim: iBooks has a notorious issue with ignoring centering, in that it does not recognize the "text-align" property. To make it work, you have to have a second element contained within the paragraph tags, for example a span. Then you assign the "text-align:center" to that particular paragraph element. IOW:

For centering to work in iBooks, you'd have to have something like:

Code:

<p class="center"><span>This is the text</span></p>

and in your css, you'd add "text-align:center;" to the css for p.center

Okay?

You might want to consider Liz Castro's very good book, EPUB Straight to the Point, which you can buy at her website in ePUB for, I think, less than $20.00. You would find it very helpful.
