I've actually been having
better results converting epubs to mobis with the new version of kindlegen.
I don't think the new guide is getting ahead of itself, but granted... I've only tried using the @Import method from the guide, so I can use two completely separate css files—one for MOBI and one for KF8.
I just have a blank stylesheet except for:
Code:
@import url(../Styles/mobi7.css) amzn-mobi;
@import url(../Styles/kf8.css) amzn-kf8;
That barebones stylesheet is included in every xhtml file in the epub. Then I have two different stylesheets (named mobi7.css and kf8.css) where all the nitty gritty happens.
You can also do a:
Code:
@import url(../Styles/common.css);
@import url(../Styles/mobi7.css) amzn-mobi;
@import url(../Styles/kf8.css) amzn-kf8;
Where all the common stuff is one css file and only the special styling circumstances need to go in the two format-dependent css files.
