Other books have more complex images/tables and no Zoom function; I can't understand why they are still listed Kindle |
A Kindle book can either be in MOBI (AZW) or TOPAZ (AZW1) format. The MOBI format supports an image (zoom) mode on most device types, but not on the Kindle. TOPAZ probably always has zoom for images, but some publishers don't seem to be using to its full potential. In this case, the problem is at least in part with the basic image quality.
TOPAZ allows embedded fonts, but does not seem to have monospaced font support. At least, in this case all the computer commands are presented as images. See the enclosed screenshots. The "Basic Relativity" ebook also uses images for equations, but that is more common than using them for monospaced text.
