As a note, I did put a thumbnail in
the other thread, but it was via AZK, not KDP. Ah well.

Nice. I do wonder what would happen if I took my book through KDP and stuck it in my K4iOS 3.9.2. If the fonts displayed properly, and they weren't for you only a few months ago, it would mean that there had been something broken with Amazon's KDP conversion machinery until recently. Because I certainly haven't updated K4iOS in...a while.
Anyway, I may check that out.
Hitch, is there any sort of centralized repository of information about making eBooks? Being a programmer, it's the kind of thing I might be inclined to throw in a Github repo (a la
Kobo Lab's ebook spec). I know there's a Wiki for Mobileread, but it just comes across as unwieldy.
I ask because I'm slowly developing a lot of links, articles, pieces of information, formatting tidbits, compatibility issues, etc. that I'm keeping for myself. Things like "if you put media queries in a style sheet, Nook Color ignores the entire style sheet", or how to CSS night mode in iBooks, or why the "Go To > Table of Contents" button wouldn't work on K2/K3, etc.
I happened to notice your comment about the Voyage 50% image size bug in this thread, and I wouldn't have had any idea about it otherwise. I had almost decided not to buy a Voyage, that it had to be similar enough to the PW2 that I needn't spend the money.
Anyway, maybe the Wiki is the answer, but I find myself dissatisfied.
