And before you state the obvious: I'm not advocating the use of pixel based breakpoints, but sometimes it really helps to know what kind of device a story is read on so you stay in control.

In the end I made a small EPUB to figure out dimensions and other device facts, and that gave me the idea to ask you to lend a hand so I can collect and list the data gathered. Hopefully this gets enough traction that it stays current even when device updates or new devices pop up.

The "Ebook @Media Queries" EPUB (and an equivalent Kindle mobi) is at https://ebookfonts.uk/fdir/free-ebooks.html.
Hm.....the download seems to be timing out for me? Is it just moi?
