Thanks.

I don't have any suggestions for the specific formatting, but I do have a more general tip.

Kindle for iOS is MOBI7, but it tries to interpret a few bits of basic CSS such as colors, whereas the others don't. But for the most part, it's really, really dumb, with almost no CSS support.

Depending on how bad it is, you may want to construct a separate copy of certain portions for MOBI7 and use media queries to determine which one to show. For example:

<style type="text/css">
@media amzn-kf8 {
    .mobi7only {
        display: none;
    }
    .kf8only {
        display: block;
    }
}
@media amzn-mobi {
    .mobi7only {
        display: block;
    }
    .kf8only {
        display: none;
    }
}
</style>
<div class="mobi7only">...MOBI version...</div>
<div class="kf8only">...KF8 version...</div>
