Perhaps if I fiddle some more I'll find some magic incantation that will work with ADE.

I'll readily admit that the resize method I used does have some issues, and it also doesn't help that I only have a single platform to test it on. When doing the floorplan images, I assumed that the reader's screen width would be 600 pixels since that seems to be the most common width currently. Honestly, I'm not really sure what happens on reader displays larger than that. However, I did notice that if I switch the Sony to landscape mode, that it does attempt to stretch the image across the 800 pixel "width" of the rotated screen (resulting in the expected slight image degradation), so that seems to be an indication that the max width attributes are being ignored (at least in this instance). Also, I wasn't able to find a way to horizontally center the resizable images on a page (it works in browsers, but not in ADE).
Of course, I gave up searching after an hour or two, so that's not to say that it can't be done. I just couldn't find a way with the methods I tried.

I notice that you've had to work hard to get the small caps to display in the chapter titles, because ADE doesn't support the font-variant: smallcaps that it should.

It was a slight annoyance, but really it's the only way to get the characters to display as close to properly as possible on the widest number of displays. It would be nice if it was supported in ADE, but since the small caps would end up being faked a majority of the time anyways (not many fonts actually contain the proper SC glyphs), you may as well fake them yourself to assure the desired effect (as opposed to the lowercased characters you get when the SC attribute is ignored). That said, the Gyre fonts actually do contain properly proportioned small caps (as opposed to simple scaled down uppercase glyphs) and it
would be nice to be able to take advantage of them...Oh well, dropping a span class in every few characters isn't exactly difficult. If I were dealing with longer titles or more than 20 chapters or something, I'd probably just resort to using all caps, title case, or possibly even sentence case depending on the chapter names. But here's hoping that ADE does eventually support the small caps property.
