I took a look at the free sample available on Amazon for A Fire Upon the Deep.
It is coded with text-indent:5%, but it also has a body style of margin-right:25px, which slightly reduces the overall page width. Because of that, for this book the KFX text-indent becomes 1.55em instead of 1.6em.

I was able to duplicate your photo on my Kindle using a font size of 1.
I used a screenshot from my Kindle Oasis 2 (touch opposite corners to generate) with a test book containing m-dashes and determined that at size 1, 1em = 29px on my screen.
A text-indent of 1.55em should be 45px and that is what I measured in for A Fire Upon the Deep. So it is working as expected for me.

The Wandering Inn indent (1.6em) should look slightly larger than A Fire Upon the Deep (1.55em). It is hard to judge from photographs.
