Media queries are supported in the standard, and, AFAIK, they work on the more-common ePUB devices, from the iBooks software on iPads to Nooks.

To toss in my two cents worth since I vaguely seem to remember that this thread was about "Best practice to add an image", if we are talking epub, image sizing can be done as percentages or for full page images by using svg wrappers (while you can do partial page images with an svg wrapper, some ereaders are not happy with the result) with no need for media queries. Now if we want to start talking about epub3 audio and video, media queries can come back into play but for simple image sizing, they are a non-issue.

As for ADE 2.xx being old news? Even with the firmware currently loaded on my Clara HD, I needed to convert to kepub for any media queries in Klaus Schallhorn's media query test ebook to do anything. An old Kindle DX one co-worker still keeps around also lacks media query support. I also have another test ebook which has a couple of empty amzn media queries which crashes and burns on older RMSDK versions though I haven't tested it in the last 18 months or so.
