Yes, we really have. You've been giving people the 100%/800px advice for a long time. I am fairly sure, NJ, that I have repeatedly mentioned that while that works just fine if you have an image that is large enough or has enough rez, and is intended to go margin-to-margin, that the 100% could EASILY overdrive an image, if it's opened in a desktop viewer, or the LITB.

(As for the ones sized to 100%, they fill the width of the text, just as they are supposed to. Perhaps this is only coincidental. I upload images 800 pixels wide. Again, be happy to send you a link.)

Yes, that's exactly right (coincidental). The image is blowing up to its native size--the 800px--NOT the 100% instruction. KF7 does not, ever, obey %. At least, through last week, it did not. And the LITB is, effectively, KF7. Not 100%, but it's a hell of a lot more KF7 than it is KF8.

I have solved one problem that KF7 posed to me, and that was the colophon for my publishing imprint, which I had been sizing at 15 percent. Naturally it got rather large in the "Kindle" preview (I no longer have an early-model Kindle). So I am now following the lead of Doubleday and the other Big Dogs, and uploading an image (sized at 100%) for the title page.

Well, you haven't solved it,
per se; you've worked
around it. In terms of precision of language, those really are two different things. I'm glad, mind you, that you've found a solution that suits you. However, the issue--that you can't really size your colophon graphic without some "jumping through hoops"--still exists. Although, if you sized it the size (physically, so to speak) that you wanted it on the LITB, it should work fine. FWIW.
