Okay, then, fine. You win, except, again, he cannot sell that at KDP, in PDF format, and he wants maximum distribution. He cannot have it both ways; he cannot have what is effectively print layout (Print Replica)
AND maximum download-ability across the universe of Kindle devices. (And others, I might add; self-publishers cannot upload FXL eBooks to B&N, to this day.) It's one or the other, not both.
And again, as far as sliders, etc.--to me, that is really worthless when you have no choice but to pinch-zoom and pan-scan. To me, that's a torturous reading experience. It's fine for, say, 3-5 pages and you can tolerate it for up to 10, but after that, on densely typed content, it's...not agony, but it's beyond tedious, IMHO.
