Image Guideline #9: Controlling Image Aspect Ratio. To preserve aspect ratio of images, width and height cannot both be set to a fixed percentage. Either width or height can be set to the fixed percentage (such as 100%), but then the other property should be set to “auto” to preserve the aspect ratio.
What I did was export the epub with images set to display at a relative page size. I unzipped to edit it. I added height="auto" in each image reference. Then converted to mobi but images still did not display relative to page size.


I mean the Kindle plugin for Indesign DOES work and displays images relative to page size. However it doesn't give the option to break the pages at a certain paragraph style. I want this because it looks untidy if the cover page goes direct into the foreward into the chapters. Is there a way around this?
