Oh, yes, GG, I'm sorry--I'm in the middle of a very, very minor medical thing, that takes some weeks, and it's making me half-brain-dead. (NO cracks from you lot!!!). I saw this request, and then promptly forgot it, even though I had every intention of replying. I see that the wondrous Rubén has filled in, thanks, Rubén!

@Hitch --- another weirdness for the Previewer. If I select the Voyage and then view the images, they are indeed left-aligned. But if I select the Kindle DX FIRST (which displays the image centered), and jump directly to the Voyage while that image is still displayed, the Voyage shows it centered as well, also all the other images in the book then display centered. So I am almost certain this is a bug in the Previewer.

At the moment, we have a LOT of weirdnesses for Voyage that purportedly and allegedly are all the Previewer, and NOT the actual devices--I hope. That's what the conversions team at Amazon is saying to me.

Could this aberrant behavior also be caused by the location of the link? I know, I know, this sounds whacky, but...GG, is this on this same book?

However, I would be most grateful if you would confirm if the css and markup for images must use pixels rather than percentages.

As Ruben confirms, below, the answer is YES, you are stuck using pixels for all KF7 devices. They don't actually HAVE CSS, as crazy as that sounds, so you must define the area (h/w) for the image in hard-coded pixels.

Ruben is correct when he says that the Voyage is a KF8, though, and thus, ought to obey typical KF8 coding. (Famous last damn words, mind you). Is this the same book and same device, or are you asking about another, and Rubén and I are conflating, here?

For example you can do something like:
[snip Ruben's lovely coding]

As you can see, you code twice the images but only one of them will be displayed.

Yes, as long as the image is intended to display the full-width of the screen, that works. If it's 300px wide, and intended to display at 100, then, no, that won't work. You can always go extra-batty, and start using HiRes and LoRes images, but I don't wish that on my friends.
