Yes, but when you unpack a mobi a CSS is output that accompanies the new epub generated by kindlegen. If the original epub used a media query of the form "amzn-kf8", the CSS of the new, kindlegen output epub, will include the media query in this form:
"@media all {
.num00
{
font-size:small;
margin-top:1.3em;
margin-bottom:0em;
text-indent:-3.8em;
margin-left:0em;
margin-right:1.5em;
text-align:justify;
font-weight:normal;
}
}
This is, in fact, a NEW media query exactly duplicating the original media query of form "amzn-kf8", in the original epub. Unless I'm greatly mistaken, the epub CREATED by kindlegen from our original epub is the file from which the mobi is created, and that is why the media query styles are incorporated in the final output.
Mobis don't use a CSS, but they incorporate the styles that are specified within, and if the media query is in an acceptable form, the styles enclosed within the query tag will be passed on to the mobi.
So, my original question stands, I think . . .
