Rubén thanks for your interest.

It seems to me that you have made a mistake here:

text-indent: 0; /*----> here you didn't close the style with "}" */
Sorry, that is a cut and paste error, my style sheet is correct.

Also I have seen that you are using <p class="title"> as your header paragraphs. Take in count that some Kindle models (i.e. Kindle Fire) only allows custom fonts in <h> tags so, it would would be a good idea for you to replace p.title with h1 (or h2, h3, etc.).
My Kindle Fire emulator has had no problem with the p style headings and I have seen many dissected ebooks that cope with this no problema.

I changed to p because when I initially used h headings KDP would not accept the font size, they had it at 3 em or whatever some default.

I have never heard this custom font in only h tag suggestion before, could you tell me where you heard about this.

And also would be a good idea to start anything with that <h4> tag in a new .xhtml file instead of using the property "page-break-before: always;".
Yes I do have a separate .xhtml file for each chapter. I have between 16 and 20 chapters per ebook. I can't remember why I introduced that but I'll get rid of it and see what happens.

I'm on to KPD support as to what their view is but so far it has responses have been of the you-shouldn't-use-pdf-files type, ie, something generic and irrelevant.

Remember these ebooks are completely checking out in every preview. In any way you can look at the file.

It's when it goes public that the issue occur.

There has been another two kooky things happening with one book on KDP. This book is not updating from the newly uploaded file. I can see the correct edition has loaded in the KDP Preview. An old version prevails in the store, even after they told me it has been updated. When I go back and check the preview there is the new version.

Also, a separate issue, the entire book is able to be previewed, not just the first 10% as is usual.

I'm thinking it might be ending up a KDP issue.
