I have one very big issue with the CSS now in use and to me, it's a major flaw that seriously needs to be fixed and another version of the book uploaded.

NEVER EVER use margins that are not fixed. 5% is not fixed and the will be different with different screen sizes. Also, 5% is huge, It's a worthless margin. The way to do is is 5px. That's an acceptable left/right margin. But with 5%, a new version of this book will hve to be made to fix this. Sorry to have to be so harsh, but this needs to be pointed out big time as it is a major mistake.

AuthorGreg, looks like you'll be submitting a new version one you fix the left/right margins. At least I hope so. 5% is huge for a margin. That's 10% of the screen not used. On a larger screen like say an iPad, that will be even larger margins as 5% of the larger iPad screen is even more wasted space.
