It's understandable limitation inherited from standard fastboot.
So, to clarify things, you can't just "remove" size limitation. You'll need to implement new fastboot command for "chunked" downloading and flashing of "big" images. And change fastboot tool to support this new command.

Thanks for the explanation, I couldn't find the cause anywhere. But I actually think that android phones don't have this kind of limitation... Or maybe they just keep their partition size under the amount of available ram?
I'll do some research. BTW, do you know if the limit of 72 kb for the first-stage u-boot applies even to the kindle 3? I didn't find any reference to a "bist" u-boot on this platform, so I'd assume no...
