I got a Kindle Scribe yesterday, and I've been looking at this site in its web browser. Because it's a 300 PPI e-ink device with a large screen, it fits a lot of pixels on its screen, and various elements whose size has been defined in pixels appear small. Based on its 1860 screen width and 2480 screen height, I calculate that it is just about 6.2 inches wide and about 8.26 inches tall, and those values are very close to the less precise measurements I took with a ruler.

One step I've taken is to give HTML a font-size of 12pt in the CSS files. This doesn't change the appearance on my desktop, but it makes text a more comfortable size for reading in the Scribe's browser. One thing that's much smaller on the Scribe's screen is the Interactive Diagram. Since the screen has 300 pixels per inch, an 8x8 board with 50 pixel squares should be less than 1.5 inches wide, and that is in fact what I'm measuring. As long as the pieces are going to stretch to fit the size of the space, maybe you could make an Interactive Diagram increase in size on a large (in terms of pixels) mobile screen.
