Calibre 1.13 - Output profile not being respected?
Hi Kovid,

Is there a bug in the latest 1.13 regarding output profiles? I have my output profile set to "tablet", which should not resize images, but when I convert a Mobi book that contains images of around 60-80k in size to ePub, the images in the output ePub book have all been shrunk to about 20k in size, which drastically reduces their quality.

Please find attached a (public domain) Mobi book, and the resulting ePub conversion from Calibre. As you see, the input file was around 2MB in size, but the converted ePub is only 940k, due to the images having been reduced in size.

How do I prevent this reduction in image size from occurring, please? Setting the output profile to "tablet" is supposed to do this, but it doesn't appear to be working.

Thanks!
