The best use for media queries in the Kindle ecosystem is to tailor books to the capabilities of Amazon's various formats rather than specific devices. "@media amzn-mobi" targets MOBI7 format and "@media amzn-kf8" targets both KF8 and KFX formats. Those media queries have an important purpose in making books look as good as they can in each format. I encourage their use.

I'm sorry--that's what I get for not paying close-enough attention. I didn't realize you were referring to the mq's in his ePUB file--yes, you're right, many of those won't work
at all. (In the Mobi-verse.) God knows, we've tried MANY. I've tried a ridiculous number of things, trying to address the vagaries of K4iOS and the LITB, for good measure.
:-) Sorry, I'll try to pay closer attention. My bad.
