problem scaling images
Hi, I have a file converted from mobi to epub via Calibre. Images are "called" by "calibre 3", e.g.
Code:
<p class="calibre33"><img alt="image" class="calibre3" src="../Images/00042.jpg" /></p> Code:
.calibre3 { height: auto; width: 100% } Code:
.calibre3 { height: auto; width: auto } Any suggestions as to where I am going wrong would be greatly appreciated - I am rather software illiterate, so please be gentle EDIT: though this question involves EPUB, Calibre and Sigil, the EPUB forum looked the most appropriate palce to post, hope this is ok.

The images probably are small. Have a look at the size of the images outside of the ePub and see if they really are small. I've seen images in Mobipocket that are too small to be of any use such as a map.

thanks for your answer - I checked them, and they are all more or less 500 by 400: is this too small? On the other hand, I am starting to suspect it may be an issue with the reader programme I am using (FBreader), as I have tried with another one (Adobereader), and in it the imagese are huge!

calibre33 hints at a MS word crufty conversion.
See if there is a .xpgt file in ../Styles Blow that sucker away |

Well, some readers just don't obey all CSS rules, I'm afraid FBReader is one of them.

yes, they do - the problem though is that there is very little (if anything) to customise with the Adobereader. My biggest complaint is that it is not possible (as far as I know) to change the font. There was a hack for this, but I do not think it works with the new models.
Thank you all again for your prompt help! |
