With regards to 1, I use a SVG wrapper for full screen images to keep them full screen (or as close to that as a Kobo ereader gets) for any screen resolution. I've often ended up googling for a higher resolution image of a map since quite a few of the maps are fuzzy even on a 600x800 screen. Perhaps the 8400x4800 (23MB) map of the world of the Belgariad from the Cartographer's Guild is overkill but map images that are 300x380 are underkill.

And as near as I can tell -- Tolstoy's The Cossacks was my test book -- the long paragraph bug is not present in the 3.5.0's version of RMSDK.
