Thanks for your comments. I don't set the image size in the ePubs I do, I just set a percentage of the screen width.

I don't for a moment doubt your accuracy regardin iBooks behaviour, but I'm not sure that your explanation is correct. Since my last post I've used a different image in the same place - same markup - and it does not expand. And I've used the this same image on the next 'page' set at a smaller percentage, and it does not expand and appears at the different percentage.

Could you give me a reference please to iBook's settings and behaviour? Is there an 'iBooks manual'?
