I don't know how to link to the specific post but here is the post that started the 'Illustraations in Mobipocket' thread

I don't know whether this is a quirk of BookDesigner (and maybe the illustrations look fine in BBeB), but there is a useful page in the mobipocket content development reference pages.
It's worth checking out the page itself, but the nub is that you can create links to 3 different versions of the image and mobipocket will pick the right one for the screen resolution of the user device. An example of the HTML to do this is:
Code:
<img hisrc="cover480x640.gif" src="cover220x300.gif" losrc="cover140x140.gif"/>
As I say - I hope this is useful. |
You also need to convert graphics to gifs (IIRC there is support for jpegs in the desktop version).
If you want illustrations to show at the right size in mobipocket then I would suggest the workflow should be.
1. start with a decent html file
2. convert jpegs etc to gif
3. code the image tags in line with the mobi instructions (though I'd use higher resolutions than than those suggested by mobi - taking 600x480 or 800x600 as the standard screen resolution and 320x240 as the low resolution)
3. convert using Mobipocket Creator
