Or are you going to create one reflowable version with the minimum formatting in it, to look "ok" at all sizes?

This is a problem that web designers have had to deal with for a long time. They also have to deal with thr nightmare of cross browser compatibikity. They're getting better all the time and the briwsers and standards are evolving to help them. Remember the bad old days when people used spacer gifs? Uggh. Ebook designers have the advantage of building on all this work.
At this stage though, putting out ebooks not ridden with typos and formatting errors is the first hurdle. I bought a newly published book that has random line breaks in middle of paragraphs throughout.
