This is how our KF8 images are always coded. We tried variations on that theme, we tried putting them inside paragraphs, inside divs, the usual. Even Amazon thinks it's a bug.

Alternatively, just enlarge the image canvas to include exactly as much white space you want around it (so if you wanted it to be at 60% an the image is 360px wide, add 120 white pixels to it on each side).

Both these solutions require quite a bit of work, though, and any image intensive book will be a boring hell to adapt...
Yeah, I think that's what I mentioned as a possibility some posts back, but...we have one book in right now with 487 images. I'm not really grooving on that idea. And then what--redo it when the bug is fixed? Yeesh. And it would look like holy hell in sepia and night.
