Resizing Images in Kindle
I'm using Sigil on a Mac. The following CSS works perfect in Apple Books
.x--w50 { width: 50%; } .x--w40 { width: 40%; } .div--img { margin: 10px auto; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 85%; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: center; } .div--img img { display: block; width: 100% !Important; } .div--img img { padding-bottom: 5px; border: none; } <div class="div--img x--w50 alignright"><img src="../Images/bison.svg" alt="Bison"/></div> However, when I use Calibre to convert my epub to AZW3, it fails. All images display as normal size when previewed in Kindle on my Mac. Does Kindle require some special CSS to resize images? Thanks. |

I am curious which Kindle app you are using on your Mac, the old Kindle Classic app or the new Kindle for Mac app?
And why AZW3 format? The Kindle apps on Apple devices do not support that format natively. I suggest you try using Amazon’s send-to-kindle with an EPUB source file. That should result in your book being delivered to Kindle apps and devices in Amazon’s newer KFX format. |

Send to Kindle whether the app, email or web page will add the ebook to your Amazon documents. You can then sync it to the app and/or device of your choice and the ePub will be converted to the appropriate format to be downloaded.

Thanks, but I'm confused. It looks like "the app" is the Kindle program already installed on my Mac. Next, I need to navigate to a web page where I can add my epub to "Amazon documents." Can you give me the URL? I assume this is a page where I simply upload my epub. Does this web page then tell me how to sync my epub with the Kindle reader on my Mac?

Nevermind, I found it at https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle
However, the maximum file size it accepts is 200 MB. My book is twice that big. |

I assume that you mean version 1.40. That is the old Kindle for Mac app. Amazon now refers to it as Kindle Classic and has stated that it will receive no further updates. The new Kindle for Mac app can be found here.
You will need the newer app if you want to read books delivered using send-to-kindle. Quote:
