My K4 mostly behaves (I hacked the words per line setting file. Small :40 was not small enough for me:10)

Ducky, my sweet:
Sorry, I'm not following that part, about the centering, in the context of this conversation, at all.
Honestly, I don't think I can ever remember having any device ignore a p tag with whatever formatting I'd applied, or we'd applied. I mean, a hunnerd bajillion years ago, it used to be that for MOBI, a naked p was a first-line indent, no top/bottom margin p. And that would be the default, unless you specifically altered it. (Hitch note of braggadocio: Amazon CALLED me to find out how I was making flush-left paras, in 2009 or early 2010. HA. Okay, chest-thumping
over. That was my 15minutes, in this line of work.).
BUT, even that's changed, if someone wants to force the issue. In fact, I think that our standard CSS, in-house, has a smaller first-line indent, than does the unaltered p for Amazon. And honestly: I don't remember EVER seeing any of the other readers out there--you know the majors, Nook, iBooks, Sony, or the browser-readers, ePUBreader for FF or REadium--ever ignore our house CSS for however we'd coded it for p.

The only known issues with my standard program (MRSDK) are the well known ones:
1) Ignore a CSS sheet containing syntax errors. User failure to validate problem.

Yes, but wouldn't this just not work across the board? Naked p or not? I mean...if you have a naked p class that you've styled, to be, say, flush left, versus a class called flush, styled the same way, won't the same error affect both?
Now: that doesn't mean that I can't be WRONG. Of course I could. Hell, for all I remember, lrb would do that. But as far as I know, as of today, you can set the p to whatever your main body style is going to be (flush left, top-padding, indented, with/without padding, whatever) and it should work. if it doesn't, something ELSE hinky is going on.
Although again,
happy to find out otherwise and to learn that I need to pay attention to another device about which I currently know nothing, or haven't seen that result.
Respectfully, w/hugs and kisses,
Hitch
