I have cursed various Android/I-thing devices over the years where I had dumb down or convert files to get them to work between laptop and other devices. Can't comment on screen differences, sorry.
As for dumbing down, you don't have to if you find an appropriate app for reading eBooks. Bluefire doesn't need dining down of ePub but you have to do most of what you want in CSS. Marvin is pretty good but not perfect. There are others, but you have to spend time experimenting. You do have more eBook app issues with Android then iOS.
