Well what surprised me is that the kindle skipped the html file altogether, but only if the first <p> had absolute positioning (or maybe it's because it can only tolerate
one "absolutely-positioned" item per file?)
Also, the positioning for the image at the bottom does in fact work.
As for KF7 vs KF8, I don't know what you're talking about
This is an AZW3 I got from an EPUB I did, via calibre conversion.
TY all.
