All Kindle models so far will allow you to place a small image in the text while allowing the user to expand the image to full screen by selecting the image (actual method varies with model). Only the Kindle Fire allows zooming further so that you can pan around a larger than screen size image.
In all cases, to make this work you place the image in the text specifying the default size in the <img> tag. Assuming you are creating an ePub or HTML source document and a 1200x1600 pixel image you could place it using:
<img src=".../images/map.gig" width=150 height=200>
Kindle Fire users could zoom to full screen or further. Users of other Kindles would only be able to zoom to full screen limiting them to a 600x800 representation of the image.
To be successful, you map would need to be readable at that 600x800 display size. If it's too detailed, you may want to cut it into sections and place the several sections in the text instead. |
Thanks for the prompt reply.
It was generally for the 6" 3g.
I tried splitting the image into 4 and even doing it by a 2 x 2 table. All conversions were poor. I now realise how limited ebook readers are for anything too much more than basic text and inline small pictures
