Hey,
I'm giving KindleGen2.3 a go vs MobiGen 6.2 to see what all the fuss about KF8 is all about.
But first, I'm noticing some odd results. Formatting that worked fine with MobiGen, doesn't with KindleGen. (Passing it an ePUB rather than single HTML)
Eg,
Code:
p.first-para {text-indent: 0em !important; margin-top: 1em !important;}
For non-indented paragraphs, remains indented when compiled with KindleGen
The Amazon Guide talks about using media queries to allow your formatting to gracefully degrade on Mobi7, but as far as I can see
Code:
@media amzn-mobi{
<<< some alternate CSS >>>
}
...simply doesn't do anything. I think that what I'm seeing is that the new Amazon guide...

...is getting ahead of itself perhaps? Mobi "doesn't use CSS". Are they thinking that this behaviour will work when then roll out KF8 to the eInk Kindles... but then, hold on, you won't need degraded formatting with the "150 additional formatting features" that it offers.
So... I'm confused, that are they talking about?
I'm going to go over everything again to see if there's anything silly going on...
