Have you tried writing the recipe to ePub and then converting to MOBI? |
Thanks, wallcraft! Your noticing that only the small images came through and your mention of dumping the MOBI were very helpful - they got me thinking in terms of debugging, which I hadn't realized I could do before.
I used calibre-debug to dump the mobi and looked at the results. One of the things it produced was an HTML file containing the output. In that, I was able to see which images actually d/l'd and which didn't (it matches your observation, but it's always good to see it myself). I then looked at the original article, and have realized that images with relative URLs will download (and therefore work) and images with absolute ones will not.
So this now becomes a question of why that is. Since that appears to be a recipe issue, not a device issue, I'm going to start a new thread in the recipes forum and see what I can find out.
Again, thanks!
