html {

  break-inside: avoid !important;

Yes, I've done that on occasion. A % rather than -47px works not badly for all Kindles (I forget how much). But that is broken!

I am not going to edit every ebook for Kindle and put essentially stupid CSS to fix Amazon's stubborn stupidity in wasting the width of the expensive eink screen.

What on earth are they thinking of to make Kindles so "broken"?
