And I have never had a single complaint--in 3500 eBooks--with some client saying that her images were squooshed.

I seldom have much to do with Kindle ebooks but what you are saying makes me curious about one item. If I create inline sizing with hard pixels, how does this affect how the image is displayed when moving between various display resolutions? Do we see the same issue I see with pixel sizing in epubs where the image shrinks as the PPI/screen size increases -- a 462x375 image that takes about 77% of the width on a 600x800 display is going to take about 61% of the width on a 758x1024 display, 43% on a 1080x1440 display and down to a meager 33% on a 1404x1872 display.
Does this require treating image sizing differently for KF7/azw/mobi vs. KF8 format?
And perhaps this might be best moved elsewhere. Topic drift at the least.
