Thanks for your input.

One argument again the use of percentage is falling: whether you use hard pixel sizing or relative percentage width , the display of your image will vary according to the size of your screen. So this argument should not be used to condemn the use of percentage width.

Now the question of format. Though I own a Kindle PW3, I never read any azw book (nor KF8). I put my brand new Kindle in a drawer and waited patiently four months till a jailbreak was released. After that, I only read EPUBs or 9×12 PDF...

As I am not a commercial editor, I'll take care only of EPUBs. To repeat what I already said, percentages width on EPUBs are rendered very precisely with Koreader, these EPUBs can also can be converted so precisely to 9×12 format with Prince PDF (a Sigil and Calibre plugin) that I even use this format to check the display of my EPUBs (namely the images)...
