Even if you don't want or need the text to go to the edge of the screen, the thing is that you can get graphics to do so. That's the issue here. So I can code images to be full screen yet have the text not be full screen. I do understand the uses for fixed layout. But I'm talking reflowing with full screen images which Kindles cannot do.
