I was able to get the images in the one book I've made so far to be resizable using css. These work as they should in the desktop ADE, and the comments from people with Jetbooks indicate that the images scaled correctly on their 640x480 screens, too. As for fonts in SVGs, you're probably best off converting them to outlines instead. First, it lets you preserve any kerning or manipulations you did to the text or characters, and it also gets you around any legal issues of redistributing/including the fonts (even in code form) with your book.

EDIT: I should've mentioned, the cover in that book is an SVG (w/outlined fonts) that scales very well in the desktop ADE.
