I can tell you the HDX and style sheets are complicated then I like. I spent last two days fixing 12 books to not look like they have gigantic text!  Bug? I'm not sure but anything over 1em is pretty big. The epubs with the same CSS do not have this problem.  When I open up the CSS I see some crazy like 1.4777em. What's that about? It seems changing it to 1.4em fixes the problem.
Man this is alot of work. I have 100 books left to fix that are on my other Kindles. Covers sometime show the blue pretty one and sometimes a cover with no text at all. I can't figure out how to fix this..... I'm thinking maybe if I run the epub through Kindle PReviwer first then run the AZW3 is generates through Calibre I might get the blue cover.
I've been too ill to play with it but feel a little better today. |
Sorry you're feeling bad! I hope you start feeling better soon.
I agree with eBooks being to complicated. There is no reason to include all the HTML and CSS in an eBook. I liked the way Palm made a scaled down markup language for Palmdocs years ago. They basically included paragraph, heading, lists, and block quote tags, and very little else. The people that create the ePub standards should do likewise--just include the bare essentials as far as HTML tags go. They should force people to use a very strict tag allocation where headings have to be in a H# tag, paragraphs have to be in P tags, lists in UL or OL tags, and do away with DIV, SPAN, and 98% of all the other HTML tags.
