Assuming that you are not trying to rely on epubmaker, than try generating your html through kindlegen version 2, or equivalently just open your html in Kindle Previewer Version 2 (which causes the generation). You will see that what you are generating works pretty well in "Klassic Kindles" (Mobi7) but it fails due to too large margins when opened in Kindle Fire(KF8) (as emulated in Kindle Previewer Version 2 for example). Klassic Kindles ignore the margin requests, so for them it is not a problem. Epub devices, and KF8 do honour margin setting requests, so they often get killed by html code which set margins (for large screen devices) - and so Marcello kills margin settings in epubmaker, if I remember right - at least in body statements. Also, kindlegen doesn't like dual inheritance at least when generating mobi7, as I think Marcello can tell you based on hard experience. Still, not bad, in that you are willing to live with device defaults rather than trying to force you will on the devices "everywhere gratuitously."
