EPUB->AZW3 disrupts chapter headers
So when I have an EPUB with chapter header decorations - usually an image that goes above and/or below the chapter name - the header decoration always gets shunted to the right once it's in AZW3 and on my kindle.
For example .chapter-title-decoration-below-inner { display: inline-block; height: 0.4833in; width: 1.1967in; margin: 0; padding: 0 } It displays properly when I check the AZW3 in the Calibre viewer, and on Kindle For PC. But once the file is on my kindle, the header is on the right, with part of the image not visible because it's been shoved a bit off the page. It's always a problem with the display: inline-block. Sometimes removing it makes the image display properly, but often not. My output profile is set to my kindle model - Paperwhite 3. I've tried aligning the images to center (with the display: inline-block deleted, and with it present), but that didn't do it. I'm not sure what else to try, or where the problem might be. |

It will be a bug in the kindle renderer. Try a completely different approach to achieving the look you want.

I don't understand what you mean? The headers are supposed to be centred, but I haven't made the files, I don't have an approach, I'm just clicking convert so I can read these on my kindle. What approach am I meant to take?

You want center, specify that (and hope some foo who 'knows better' did not lock that out. ) Pick a brand and you will find 'quirks' in how they render code. |

In your sample, there are 3 or more divs wrapped around the line that actually displays the image. You would have to at the combined effects of those styles to see what is actually happening and keep in mind cascade and specificity. See Cascade, specificity, and inheritance for a basic lesson.

No idea what W3C means, but I think I understand what you're saying. I have tried to center the images already and that didn't help, alas.

I'll mess about with all those styles and see if I can figure out the problem that way. Thank you! |

Some stylesheets are generated by computers such as when you feed a Word .docx file into Vellum or use InDesign to create an ePub. Then there are the corporate stylesheets used by many publishers. All great sources for unnecessary complexity.
You may want to check HTML and CSS Tags Supported in Kindle Format 8 though those lists are incomplete. If you open the azw3 ebook in calibre's ebook-editor and enable the Live CSS tool, it helps to see what is being applied. |
