KF8 doesn’t support position: relative, which we use for hr.asterism: after. As a result, we’ve got extra margin-bottom on Kindle. position: absolute is supported but not on every Kindle device.

This issue is fixed in RockTheCasbah branch.

We’re now relying on an SVG background (base64 so no extra file) which works in legacy RMSDK, reflows with text when background-size is supported and is night-mode-compatible.

Well, as a matter of fact, we’ll need an extra file as Kindle doesn’t support base64.

And it's fixed. Asterism is now an external svg file (sorry) you must add to your ePub file. Don't forget to change the url if needed, say if you're putting asterism.svg inside a folder. It’s been committed to branch "RockTheCasbah" and will be merged in v.1.

For your information:

  • Google Play Books + Kindle don’t support base64 as background url;
  • a white background will be displayed in Aldiko (night mode);
  • we’re pretty safe anywhere else, especially RS listed in official support.
