Thanks - I used 0.7.33 and it does look like the images are in the compiled epub - glad it worked at one time. However, using built-in ebook viewer, or viewd from ibooks on iPad, the illustrations are randomly cut into two parts and displays on two adjacent pages, if I change the font size, the text reflows and sometimes the illustration will fit in one page, but then the next illustration might have same issues and I will need to change the font size again to make the image show on one page. I am not familiar with the epub format, but is there a forced page break that can be implemented so each illustration only stays on one single page regardless the font size? I tried the orginal mobi in kindle on iPad, it seems all illustrations stay at one single page - if you change the font size, the image will shrink or enlarge based on the space left, nevertheless, one single image does not span across two pages. I guess this is more of an issue of the epub reader (or ibook on iPad), but was just wondering if there is a way in calibre to force an image display on a signle page. Thanks, great application.
