Thanks a lot for your reply !!
Well, if they're working, then perhaps you'd be better off not messing with it. However, Amazon's FXL is indeed proprietary. You can see the coding in the Publisher's Guidelines. Not the shortened version--the full. I also think, IIRC, that they still have sample books up, that you can rip apart, to take a look at how they're coded.

The last set of PG had this bit:

Quote:
To demonstrate best practices in creating fixed-layout books, Amazon provides a children’s book example at www.amazon.com/kindleformat (under the KindleGen Examples heading). This example is a demonstration of how to create content to take advantage of fixed-layout with Region Magnification. It is not intended to be an HTML tutorial.
That should get you started, I'd think. They also list the required fu in the Section 10 in the PG, with some code, too. (n.b.: if you've been uploaded ePUB3 content, created via KG, that could be throwing the intake for a loop.) I assume that you buy/download the books afterwards, right? They're working? You have a separate HTML file for each page?

Start with the publisher's guidelines, the full set, and then download their sample books. But as I said, if your stuff is working...shrug.
