Images Sizes

I'm having trouble getting my images to display the correct size on my Kindle. It might be a bug in the Kindle. My eBook displays correctly in Calibra.

In my book, I have standardized image sizes (width) of 50%, 70%, and 90%. I am also doing the same for the figure captions. Once I upload the book to my Kindle only the 50% images display properly. The 70 and 90 sizes display full-width. All caption sizes displayed correctly.

As an experiment, I set up image sizes 10, 25, 50, 60, 70, and 90%, and only images 50% and smaller displayed correctly. In every case, the captions displayed correctly.

I just installed the latest update, and that has not fixed the problem. I figure this is a bug that has not been addressed yet.

Is anyone else familiar with this problem?

Here's some code so you can see how I am doing this:

Code:
img.Image_Style_70
{
  border: none;
  width: 70%;
}

p.LongCaption_70
{
  text-align: left;
  text-indent: 0px;
  font-family: "Palatino Linotype", serif;
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
  font-size: 80%;
  width:70%; 
  margin-left:15%;
  margin-bottom: 6px;
}

span.Image_Box
{
  padding: 0px;
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0px;
  display: block;
  border: none;
}

/* Wrapper for various objects, such as images. It prevents text from wrapping around the image. */
div.Image_Wrapper
{
  margin-right: auto;
  margin-left: auto;
  padding: 0px;
  float: left;
  width:100%;
  float: none;
  text-align: center;
  margin-top: 15px;
  margin-bottom: 15px;
}

<div class="Image_Wrapper">
<span class="Image_Box">
<img src="../Images/04-JD_Greer.jpg" alt="Photo of J.D. Greer" class="Image_Style_70"/>
</span>
<p class="LongCaption_70">
J.D. Greer, one of Harold’s early heroes, in Lima, Peru in 1932. <i>Photo courtesy of ]oe Greer, Jr.</i></p>
</div>
}

I wasn't getting any responses there. I figured I must have posted in the wrong forum.

AZW3.

In Calibra the AZW3 version looks okay, too.

It might be easier if you attached your ebook to a message here so we can actually see the internals of the ebook. If it is copyright or you want to keep it private, you can use the ScrambleEbook plugin to scramble the ebook before attaching it.
