Hi...I'm not sure why my replies aren't posting? I'll try again!

My issue is that I've needed to enlarge the specialty fonts way above normal to render normally in Kindle Previewer (like 1.8em instead of 1.2) so when it gets converted down to mobi....these particular styles are gigantic!

I was hoping to be able to target them directly just in mobi, but if I can't use the media query to do that...then I'm just SOL? Or I have to find a balance between too small in Kf8 and too big in KF7?

For reference I built the book in InDesign, exported to ePub and I've been editing all the code in Calibre.

I did try the very basic media query suggested by Amazon, but I haven't been able to get it to work after exporting the mobi file from Kindle Previewer and sideloading it onto my old kindle:

@media amzn-mobi {

.affirmation {
font-family: "Arial", sans-serif;
font-size: 1.3em;
line-height: 1;
}
}

Sorry for asking in the wrong place! Should I move it over?
