That's very nice indeed. And yes, I've found that in-line images where I can assume that the width is the limiting factor do resize nicely.

It's full page images where I want the image to resize so that it fills the page as much as possible (either in height or in width) are the ones that aren't working right.

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

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.

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.
