Hi everyone. I'm creating a book with multiple images which I want to make available specifically for the Kindle store.
I'm using Indesign 5.5 on a Windows 7 PC. I am exporting it as an epub. When I export I choose the
Relative to Page Size option. In an age of multiple size device screens Relative to page size is the logical option because it should be able to make images on a page fill roughly the same percentage of the screen size whatever device you read it on.
When I view my epub on a PC or even high resolution iPad 3 the images look big which is great. I have then used Calibre to convert the file to .mobi format. I have viewed the .mobi file on Kindle app for PC, the Kindle Fire, the Kindle Keyboard and the Kindle app for the iPad and the images are NOT displayed relative to page size. In fact the images look ridiculously tiny on the high resolution iPad 3 screen.
The Relative to Page Size code that Indesign creates for an image looks like this:
Code:
<img class="image" width="52%" src="images/sky%20kf%202_fmt.jpeg" alt="sky%20kf%202.jpg"/>
It doesn't seem to work for Kindle. But is there another way to make images display relative to page size on the Kindle? Considering the range of device screen sizes (especially the new iPad 3) it seems absolutely necessary.
Any help, thoughts, ideas, knowledge would be appreciated!
