Hitch, you asked, What's Kobo, et al, got to to with the price of tea in China?

Hitch, I realize that you have formatted a lot more kindle ebooks than I have, but treatment of images in a smaller display and in a bigger display is a big deal for my ebooks. On smaller e-ink devices, img can only be a block element. On larger displays, images often look much better when floating alongside text. It's discouraging to hear your report that even those hyper-specific aspectratio queries don't always work. Even doing that seemed onerous and hard to maintain.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. This gives me things to chew on while revising my template.
