I created a simple html:

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
    <title>Test Image</title>
    <meta content="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>
  </head>
<body>
test test test<br>
<img src="test.gif"><br>
test test test<br>
<img src="test.gif" width="100" height="10"><br>
test test test<br>
</body>
</html>

The image is 461x56 pixels.

Then i imported it in Calibre and convereted it to Mobi.

In Calibre viewer the mobi file becomes a two page affair. First page is the first image stretched to the width of the viewer window. The second image is properly resized to 100x10 pixels

When i transferred it to Kindle 3 it's one page but BOTH images are resized to the width of the screen:

Also both images are "zoomable". That is when you navigae through the page with 5way images get selected, a border is displayed and a zoom (+) is shown.

When clicked the images are displayed in landcape mode stretched to fit-to-width...

Any one knows what i can do to make a mobi book from my handwritten html working properly - with images acting properly?
