I got my Kindle Oasis yesterday, and tried out the MQ on it. Looks good. It actually has exactly the same dimensions as the Voyage, apparently:

Not super familiar with that, because I didn't have a Voyage until today. Do you have an appropriate sample file you want to send my way?

The Voyage has a persistent bug. If you use (for example) a chapter head image, and it's wide-ish, but not meant to be full-width, you end up with full width. Any width: X% class that you set at 50% or greater blows up to the full width of the screen. I have had discussions with Amazon--they weren't aware of it when we first reported it, but I haven't been advised of any progress on it. Hitch |

How awful. Will 49% work?
I'm beginning to appreciate Wm Buckley's credo: to stand athwart Progress and yell "Stop!" |

Incidentally, I find the spec linked from that page to be fascinating. What it tells me is that on iOS and Android, they used the native rendering engines (either WebKit or Blink, which is based on WebKit), but used something else on other platforms for some baffling reason. Whatever that "something else" is, it apparently isn't a fully functioning CSS layout engine. I'd imagine if I fed it my content on Windows in KePUB mode, it would keel over and die. Or I could be wrong, and they might have used WebKit, but hacked together the pagination in some custom way rather than using it in paged media output mode like you'd use if you were printing. Hard to say which. Last edited by dgatwood; 07-10-2016 at 12:01 PM. |

@Hitch, sorry I haven't been able to test the 50% thing on my Oasis yet--been up to my eyeballs, but it is in the back of my mind. |
