That is one of the posibilities, but you also can apply the property without setting a width. For that reason is called INLINE-block.

How portable is that for Amazon mobi/KF7, azw3/KF8 and KFX conversions of epub by Amazon for KDP, or for preventing hyphenation on epub based ereaders in general inc older ADE on many eink ereaders without other side effects?

It works everywhere except for mobi K7.

Also what if "display: inline-block;" is applied to html, body or p?
|
No, no; you can't apply it to body (nor html), but you can use it on div, p, span, img (very useful here). I would be able to write a book with all the tricks allowed by the use of this property; for example is wonderful to avoid fragmentation.

What happens if a long word in a larger font on a small screen doesn't fit? Is it truncated?
|
It can happen the same as is the property is not employed and the ereader doesn't have the feature "hyphens"
But in those "rare" cases, you can handle the situation by means of the property "overflow" (you can employ the value "ellipsis").
