This discussion is a point I have made before. If you are laying an epub out for a tablet, it makes no sense to limit yourself to the shortcomings of small screens. Contrarily, laying it out for a tablet where it might be used on a small screen only makes for an unpleasant reading experience on a small screen.
You can have pull quotes, floating pictures, etc easily on a tablet. They are just an annoyance that eats up pages and makes you push the page advance button on a small machine. I can't see any way around it either.
If you downsize a baseball bat, it isn't the same thing any more is it?
I want both tablets and e-ink readers to co-exist. But I don't think it may be helpful to try to keep them to the same standard.
