1. You agree, don't you, that Kindle can't float images?
2. I found that images blow up unexpectedly, and that extra blank pages are created. What's more, there is no real documentation about when and why it does this. Also, I occasionally find discrepencies between how images are rendered in the Kindle Previewer and the Kindle itself.
3. Have you tried to make images on pages in a way that look suitable on both Kindle for ipad and an actual Kindle?

I can't recall offhand, but I seem to remember that there are problems with wrapping images inside div tags in Kindle. This breaks my workflow, which is Docbook to epub to Kindle (via Kindlegen). I imagine there are fewer problems when you are just starting with HTML.
