Currently I am creating epubs and editing them in Sigil, then converting to .mobi format for Kindle via Calibre. However, because Kindle didn't support certain code, like floated images, I have been adjusting the css/html in my xhtml file before using Calibre for the conversion. I am not yet quite sure what css Kindle Fire supports, but I believe that it does support features like floated images. So, I'm now wondering what is the best strategy for creating files for Kindle. All I can think is that there is little point using these extra features at this moment in time when most Kindle devices don't support them. But, if I did want to use them, is there currently any way to create the appropriate file by using Calibre?
