Across all devices, no. If you
know you'll be designing an ebook specifically for the Kindle Fire (and anything else that suports the KF8 format) you can specify CSS image width and height attributes. But if one is a fixed percentage, the other needs to be set to auto in order to preserve the aspect ratio of the image.
You
should be able to jump through some hoops and specify the width, height attributes (in pixels) in the (x)html for the normal eInk kindle devices, and then override those html attributes with a CSS media query that would only apply to devices that support the KF8 format (like the Kindle Fire).
Code:
@media amzn-kf8 {
img.myclass {width:80%; height:auto}
}
Kindlegen 2 will ignore that css when building the normal mobi portion, but should use the CSS (that should override html attributes) to style images of the class "myclass" when building the KF8 portion.
I say
should be possible because that's the way I'm interpreting the new Kindle Publishing Guidelines. I've not tested that case
specifically, but I
know the media queries can be used to specify different CSS for different devices. And CSS is
supposed to take precedence over html attributes.
I apologize if that was more information than you were looking for.
