Amazon has limited support for this property in Enhanced Typesetting (KFX formatting). I don't know about support in other e-readers. |
I think that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm trying to test it in Calibre's book viewer and I'm not seeing it working correctly (the image shows but doesn't seem to "float") but it may be an issue of limited compatibility.

You're correct, and I think I wasn't explaining myself well. I mean it'll cut into the middle of a sentence in a print book, so the text on the preceding page will go all the way to the bottom of the page. I was trying to replicate this in an epub (though just having the image jump between paragraphs, not within one).

That is currently what I do as well, but was curious if there was a more elegant solution. And I agree about justified text; I tend to remove the justification alignment when I come across it as it looks odd outside of a few specific use cases.
