Huh? I don't want to decompile FROM a mobi. I already have the source files. I just compile it TO a mobi.


Exactly, so double-huh?
URGH. Wolfie is being very pedantic. HOWEVER, that being said, what he's said--although narrow--is correct.

He's taking you literally in his own, personal-to-him-only specific definition of "MOBI." He is deliberately construing you to mean that you are building a KF7-style ONLY mobi. (Wolfie rather notoriously persists on insisting that only KF7 "mobis" are MOBI, and that the newer, dual-style MOBI is "KF8" not MOBI. Thus, his comments to you.)

If that were true--which it would be, if you used MOBIPocket, CSS wouldn't work. The KF7 mobis didn't use CSS--at all. Not one smidgen. Everything had to be on the HTML tags, not in CSS.

Those of us who build MOBIs--the 2017 kind, not the 2009 kind--use media-queries to address this issue in KF7 MOBI format, and of course, use the CSS to address the KF8 MOBI format--both of which are included in the MOBI output file from KG/KPreviewer.

Does that clarify for you?

@Wolfie: Give it a rest, man. Nobody else on the damned PLANET uses your definition of "mobi" as =KF7. Not even me, and you know that I am very precise in that stuff. You know damned well you are saying this to confuse her just to try to win the argument. Stop
