This is what our CSS looks like (a truncated view):

Spoiler:
Main CSS: epub selector:

.num00
{
font-size:small;
margin-top:1.3em;
margin-bottom:0em;
text-indent:-1.8em;
margin-left:3.5em;
margin-right:1.5em;
text-align:justify;
font-weight:normal;
}

Media Query

@media amzn-mobi {
.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;
}
}


We have used various values to highlight the effect, but the result is always the same:

If we take the values in the media query and apply it to the CSS proper, the display will change to reflect new values

If we use "amzn-mobi", nothing happens

If we use "amzn-kf8", the display will change to reflect new values



that's all I have, and no reasonable explanation . . .

I KNOW I am going to be sorry to jump into this, but, gents, can we all start at the beginning? (Sorry, guys, I'm deliberately carrying the coding along, in the quoted, for reference).

@Macsurfcat:

Before we all go ONE step further, precisely and exactly what devices--list them--are you using to test your theories and the output, please? When you say, as you've said repeatedly, that you are seeing "nothing" or that "nothing happens," WHERE is it that you are seeing nothing, and for what change, EXACTLY?

And when you say you're "in a dispute" and talk about you and your vendor, with whom is the dispute (a bookmaker, a retailer, whom?), and who do you mean, in terms of "vendor?" Are you making these books commercially, for someone?

Let's start there.

Spoiler:
Some of you may recall the rather infamous 30- or 50-post long thread about missing fonts--from someone using Kindle Cloud Reader???? If someone had asked this question at the beginning of the thread, MANY hours of my time could have been saved--that, and the bookmaker's.
