Hi Perkin,
I have been crash coursing in coding, so i finally realize where to add and why and been playing with experimenting a couple of things as far as device goes.

What I have gathered.
The Nook Color OS is based off of Adobe Digital Editions. and ADE doesn't have ability to zoom in or around and image. The Nook displays the image at default size, but then will align it according to your code and if you are centered, and your image exceeds the Nook Color screen size( W=600, H=800 169ppi) then whatever part of your image outside of screen size is off screen and there is currently no way i have found or read to scroll or zoom to see it. Luckily i have about 28px or both left and right that are border trim for panels, and on a full page spread, losing 8px on both sides isn't an issue.

I tried the " max-width: 100%; " which worked for the Nook on Android to fit image to width, but doesn't work good on actual Nook Color device.

I tried a " width: 618px; " and that seem to work.
But question i have is that if someone on another reader( i.e. ipad) has ability to zoom and scroll due to OS, will i be limiting them to NOT being able to enlarge image beyond 618px ?

One other thing is that i actually tested to see if i nook could read the epub if it didn't contain an ".xpgt "( ADE info, column info, etc.) file and it did open it.
I read somewhere not to remove it so if an reader worked off of ADE structure or something like that the epub would work better. But i wanted to test, and it does work w/o it.
Is this a good thing or bad to take it out?
Would you like to take a look at code i have now? I will post if you do.

still trying to finalize something that is acceptable to me, and so far i have a version that works for Nook color, so kinda happy.

thanks,

jg
