True enough, but KF8 image format should always use percentage values. So if you want correct image displays on both KF7 and KF8 devices then just use my AddKindleMediaQueries plugin. This plugin automatically dual formats all images in you epub for both KF8 devices(as percentage screen values) as well as for KF7 devices(as absolute pixel values). Which image format is actually displayed for the current Kindle device is decided by the media queries in the css.
Since the OP mentioned the client wanting a .mobi with no mention of .azw3 or dual-format, I felt a reminder that percentages don't work with .mobi was needed.

OTOH, one friend of mine loves your AddKindleMediaQueries plugin for mostly automating a task that she used to handle by copy/paste/editing. Some editing is still required but 90% is automated.
