I can't answer the question, but as I recall the discussion it was about
whether out-of-line (linked) images are included in the epub and mobi
output files, not whether large images are reduced in size when included.
That is, some are saying that when the text includes a small image,
which is linked to a larger version that the user can click on in a web
browser, the epub/mobi files do not contain the larger images at all;
only the smaller in-line ones. Others are saying the files contain both.
And some are contending that it's different when we use
ebookmaker.pglaf.org to generate the files, vs whatever the White
Washers are doing to generate them.
But they are also talking about two different situations. One with the
linked files, and another where @media queries are used to simply hide
one file or the other depending on whether we're in a browser or in the
epub/mobi version.
So it's really very confusing, to me.
