@Rubén and @Hitch:
Well, it has rained at last. I looked more into the image question with previewer 3.29.1 and it turns out the problem I noticed there has nothing to do with image size but is triggered by a caption that is larger than the percentage width the image was supposed to be scaled to.
The intent was to have an image floated to one side, about 38% wide, with a caption below, and the copy wrapping around a container holding both the image and caption. Works if I set the display of the PV 3.29.1 to either Tablet or E-Reader. Doesn't reliably when I set it to Phone.
What I've settled on - for now - is to use display:block with a 100% width for the span containing the caption string. Strangely the problem manifests itself only when setting the display to phone.
To verify that the display:table code Rubén provided graciously a while back works on an actual Voyage like display I ebayed myself a Kindle Keyboard as suggested by Hitch. Of course it does. And would you believe it: I actually like the gadget, far more than my Fire, and I have already spent £1.09 to buy a book for it (because it's the last in a series and was never available in print although all the others were). The book was supposed to cost something like four pounds whatever, but Amazon gave me a discount without telling me why. I don't mind the why, but I sure hope they'll continue doing that should I buy more.
@Notjohn:
For images Amazon's Publishing Guidelines (now?) say that you should allow twice the device width of the largest device to allow for zooming into images. That would make that a ginormous width of 3200 pixels. As that'll be scaled down for each device type it's probably not that much of a problem. And in order to have a somewhat comparable layout across devices I use images set to a percentage of the screen width rather than fixed pixel sizes.
I wish there was a reliable resource that has @media query capabilities and screen dimensions for each device. Without that some of the work I'm supposed to do for my daughter is based on experiments and guessing.
But thanks for the heads up about Amazon's "Look Inside" feature, something I've completely overlooked so far. It seems never-ending.
