I'm working on a scanned book where most of the illustrations are chapter heads, no problem. However, two chapters of the print book have a large interior double-page spread illustration.

I wasn't sure how best to handle this. For text flow and readability, it seemed like a good idea to simply combine each page of the double-page illustration into one single image, and then simply make that image a size that could work in the basic e-reader vertical format, i.e. no more than 600 pixels wide.

That works fine and actually looks pretty good, but the catch is that resizing the image that much smaller does lose a bit of fine detail, especially on e-ink screens. So I was thinking about making a larger version and including it at the end of chapter where the reader could view the larger image by turning their reader to a landscape orientation.

Or is that too disruptive to reading flow? I could also just put these two larger images at the tail end of the book. But as there are only two of these double-page spreads, it seemed like the easiest integration was at the chapter end.

Or should I bother including the larger images at all?

Wondering how others handle this sort of thing!
