Damn. Completely forgot the sarcasm tag. Sorry 'bout that. But seriously, I found the aspect-ratio queries somewhat erratic, whereas the amzn-mobi and amzn-kf8 queries work.

And rightly so I say. I know it's easier to find fault in other people's work, but I seem to notice even small mis-alignments or bad spacing. And I do not obsess, it's just that I notice. I've only started reading on a kindle about 18months ago, so I've dealt with dead tree books all my life. And I habitually look at the design of everything before and after the main content. Some books are really beautiful, but a there are some that seem to have had accidents during production (or earlier).
