Publishing on Kindle: Guidelines for Publishers

Magnification, the source text will not disappear from the page view. It is also important to not
position a pop-up directly abutting the right or bottom edges of the screen. Differences between
device types can create content overflow error if pop-ups are too close to these edges. Check
content on as many different kinds of devices as possible before publishing.
3. The font size of text in the Region Magnification <div> should be set to 150% of the regular font
size on the page. There are several exceptions to this:
One exception is when the text on the page is so large that magnifying it to 150% would
make it harder to read instead of improving readability. Region Magnification is not necessary
for text with a height of at least at least 2mm in non-
on a 7" device.
Another exception is when the text on the page needs to be increased by more than 150% to
improve readability in the Region Magnification <div>. For example, if the font size of the
text on the page is 45%, the font size of the text in the Region Magnification <div> may need
to be magnified to 225% to be readable.

10.5 HTML and CSS Guidelines

10.5.1 Applying CSS Reset
Apply a CSS reset to fixed-layout books. A CSS reset removes the inconsistent styles that browsers
automatically apply, such as font sizes, margins, etc. Adding a CSS reset, such as the YUI reset
(http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/cssreset), removes these inconsistencies, allowing designers to build on a
dependable styling template.
