Thanks Jellby!

So it is actually for example the KindleGen that converts the CSS to equivalents in mobi? This brings me to another question.

It's probably a quite basic one but I haven't understood yet -- what regulates whether KindleGen will create a KF8 file (AZW3?) or a Mobi file from what I give it to compile? Because if I've understood your comment above correctly, it means that if it does convert it to mobi, all of my CSS will be converted/stripped.

I would love to know!

Thanks again for your clarifications!
