I did some testing and I can verify that the KFX renderer has a bug that sometimes causes centered text to be rendered off-center if the block element is styled with negative left and right margins. The problem is worst with short text and large negative margins.

In the attached example all of the lines text should be centered. As the length of each line increases the centering becomes more accurate.

This is not a problem with conversion to KFX. The formatting in the KFX file is correct. It is the KFX reading software that is failing to center the text properly.

I doubt Amazon is going to do anything to fix this since this situation does not come up with books that are properly formatted for publishing.
