as describe in the AmazonKindlePublishingGuidelines we developed fixedLayout-ePub with background-images. But for compatibility with other device, such as Sony, its necessary to use also an image in the div. In the css-mediaquery this image is omitted for kindle device.
Now the problem is, that if an img-tag is in the div with the background-image the background image is cropped on top an bottom. It seems that the width is determining. Without image everything is well.
Did anyone know this problem an perhaps a solution?
Thanks for help!

...given that a Kindle fixed-format book can't be read on a Sony. You can't make a Kindle-fixed format (FF) book that's going to work on other devices; for example, the coding for an iBooks FF book (or a Kobo) is completely different than the coding for a Kindle FF book. You can reuse some of the coding, to save some time, but you can't make a single file that will work across multiple platforms. You'll need separate files for each vendor/device. AFAIK, there isn't even a fixed-format layout for Sony, that I know of; so you need a file for iBooks, a file for Kobo, a file for B&N NookPress (if you have upload rights for this type of book) and a file for Amazon.
There's no point in attempting to create media-queries across platforms/devices in a fixed-format book. That's the gist.
