But displays against left margin on Adobe Digital Editions and NOOK Color emulator (Win XP Pro) in epub generated by calibre (Ver. 0.8.11) But Display type (larger type like a chapter header, defined as a div class (<div class="chapter">), does display centered in Adobe Digital Editions. Captions text (subtype of paragraph) centers in calibre reader, while paragraph text does not.

Styles are defined in a linked CSS stylesheet. All other parameters of a <p> paragraph display, but the text-align center doesn't work in the epub output. Setting the width to 30 ems and the left and right margins to auto doesn't work either. Surrounding the <p> elements with <center>...</center> doesn't work.

Is this a problem with me? calibre? epub?
text-align: center
works in the stylesheet for ADE

Avoid 'auto' for images: width or Height,
they will not center
