It's very possible to create tables for a Kindle! I made an ebook guide to London 2012 which had hundreds and hundreds of tables of data. With a bit of tinkering and formatting they looked fine on a Kindle.
Here are two of em:
Here's the HTML code behind the Usain Bolt 100 metres record table:
<table class="records-table">
<tr>
<th scope="col"><br /></th>
<th scope="col">Time</th>
<th scope="col">Record Holder</th>
<th scope="col">Year</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>WR</td>
<td>9.58</td>
<td><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By1JQFxfLMM">Usain Bolt (JAM)</a></td>
<td>2009</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>OR</td>
<td>9.69</td>
<td>Usain Bolt (JAM)<br /></td>
<td>2008</td>
</tr>
</table>
I've just noticed that errant <br /> tag after "Usain Bolt (JAM)" in the code. Sigil had a habit of putting them in occasionally. That one sneaked past my testing phase
Here's the CSS. I learned how to do this from
this online tutorial.
.records-table
{
align:center;
border: 1px solid #333;
border-spacing: 0.1em;
padding: 0.1em;
margin-top: 0.1em;
margin-bottom: 0.1em;
font-size: 0.8em;
}
.records-table th, .records-table td { border: 1px dotted #666; padding: 0.2em;}
.records-table caption
{
caption-side: top;
font-size: 0.9em;
text-align: center;
}
