Kindle vs iOS blockquote - how handled?
I've discovered that Kindle for Mac and Kindle for iPad both display block quotes at half the value of the Kindle [device]. In books I'm converting, I'm using a "compromise" value so the display is "acceptable" on both.

I'm using a nested (double) block quote for a single quote else the Kindle for iPad displays the block quote as a simple 1em indent - (A blockquote on Kindle displays about 2em indent, on Kindle for iPad and Mac it's half that.)

I'd like to see examples of what others are doing with blockquotes but I can't seem to find any free mobi books that contain blockquotes.

If you know of a free mobi that contains blockquotes would you let me know.

Or.. if you create mobi's with blockquotes how do you handle this issue?
