Thanks Jason, your example put me on the right track for the sidebars!
That lead me to believe for regular figures I could use
div.figure-title{
text-align: center;
}
But I seem to be on the wrong track here ;-(

I thought real sidebars was one of the main features of KF8.
Drat. I have quite a lot of sidebars in that book and having them as
centered images will suck major.
Looks like I will still only offer PDF ;-(
