wannabee,
Thanks for the comments. Actually, the images SHOULD be oriented in a 90 degree orientation so that the long direction of the image is parallel to the long ebook screen direction. On the 6" ereader the photos almost completely fill the screen. The photo should look fine on a six inch ereader. I've also checked the photos on my Sony 950; again the images are oriented so that the long dimension of the photo is parallel to the long dimension of the Sony, and the photos completely fill the screen width but are not long enought to fill the screen length, so that there is a much larger absence of any photo at the bottom of the screen because the Sony has a long dimension much greater than my 6" bebook one. To fill the entire Sony screen would require photos of a larger length to width ratio than for filling a 6" ereader screen.

I think that these images will look fine on any ereader that will comply with the css requirement that an image should fill 100% of the screen width.

As far as a color image on an ereader, I don't have an ipad or equivalent but I assume that the 100% css width will work appropriately for an ipad so that the photo is correctly sized, except of course the photo will be much larger and in color. I think the photos will look very good on an Ipad. I've found that my ereaders will easily handle 200 dpi, and this should provide a better image for an Ipad than 72dpi.

As for the image on a computer screen, assuming you are using Adobe DE on the computer, if one adjusts the width of the Adobe DE appropriately, the photo will show completely. This is because the photo width is set to 100% of the width of the Adobe DE screen, so that as the image width is compressed by adjusting the adobe DE screen size on the computer, the image will get smaller and smaller until the whole image is showing. Of course if one runs Adobe DE full size on the computer screen, then much of the photo length will run off the screen.
