At this point, since you'd have to strip DRM anyway, I suspect you might as well go with coolreader and its custom *global* css features. At least that way you don't have to decompile and recompile each epub.
But then, I'm lazy and would rather spend my ebook time reading.
thanks fj - for me it all started because I wanted to see clearly the figures (and tables rendered as figures) in non fiction books. Alas, the problem with coolreader is that it does not (yet) solve my original problem, i.e. too small figures. So it looks like for the moment I am stuck with adobeviewer's (or the hope of a future hack that would work on the pro models) if I want to see the graphs.

But I do not follow when you talk about "decompile and recompile": I simply opened the file in Sigil, and edited the "width: auto" line to "width: 100%". And saved. Presumably Sigil then does all in the background?
