I had some centering problems with iBooks also. iBooks wouldn't center paragraph but was centering header tags correctly. The solution I found after a bit of research was to add <span> and </span> tags right inside the element you want centered. To use the example above, I would in the text put <p class="centre"><span>*</span></p> instead. It worked for me at least. And yep, no indent on the centered stuff.

Good luck.

Edit: And yes, the <span> tags were added because of the full justification thingy. When I turned that off, things were centered correctly without the <span> tags, but not when turned on.
