Does this mean that the kf8 file also "contains" the Mobi version and so delivers that version to the iOS app.

Is there a @media setting for the iOS device. I am not having any success with trying to use @media amzn-mobi to deliver a specific class for the Ipad app?

The Kindle for iOS app does not support KF8 format most likely due to Apple’s restrictions on html rendering software. (KF8 is based on an outdated version of WebKit.) If you email an EPUB the iOS app will receive MOBI format.

The media query you mentioned is correct for targeting the iOS app. However almost all formatting is stripped out during conversion to MOBI since that format supports only a subset of HTML 3 so it might be ignored anyway.
