Do you know if there are any statistics of what people actually use most for reading aside from dedicated devices? Does it even make sense to spend time ensuring that everything looks nice on tiny screens?

Hear Hear! I can't imagine doing serious (whole book) reading on my phones 1.5" wide screen. The 3" wide screen on my (5") PEz is the same as a mass market paper book. I tweak my EPUBS to be close to the paper version. I sometimes Rotate images (like Maps) t o make best use of the Aspect ratio of the screen.
HTML has a provision for setting 'Media'.
Unfortunately it does not seem to have been revised (modernized) to allow for screen size and screen orientation options (designer restrictions like: image-aspect-rotate:auto|right|left|never)
