Thanks to the support on this forum I now have some good css for poetry in ePubs, and this also works with Kindle Fire, but I'm still struggling with sorting it out on earlier versions of the Kindle device. As previously pointed out, you cannot have a left margin AND hanging indents in poetry in those earlier versions, so I would settle for having no left margin. Has some kind soul out there got an example of css and html that would create a poem with stanzas, hanging indents, and at least one level of indent, but no left margin, that is robust and works on the earlier devices?
