This looks different from the example in the book I looked at. This seems to be making paragraph lines (or a fake list) indented, which I may not like visually but off the top of my head I expect what you show in the image could be done without god-awful markup and questionable CSS choices. I'd prefer to see it done with <ol> or <ul> and styling the <li>, but there are other clean ways to do it. Just my own personal preference not liking how this looks rather than a final product that makes me question how much the publisher actually knows about HTML or CSS.
The book example I was commenting on is a case where a <dl> is both a clean and natural choice. The <dt> in that case would be the name of the speaker and the <dd> would be the text. Style it to float the <dt> to the left at some low percentage width and <dd> to the right at remaining width and you've got the same effect with much cleaner markup and CSS. |

using <p> with suitable classes is more reliable and can exactly duplicate ol ul li etc, which are needed for server side auto-generated content from a database, or a convenience. They are not needed at all in ebooks.
No need for dd or dt and float is best avoided in ebooks. |

I'll try out changing the 'physical' dimensions of cover.jpg - I was kind of hoping to avoid it, and just 'spanning' them if possible, but proper dimensions for my reader would be a tidier solution to just have consistent covers overall. I know there's plugins that can do this as well. Thanks so much! |
