Alas, the thread has not provided a solution. When I tried your code the result in iBooks (on my friend's Mac) was identical to the original code: the pictures are split over screens instead of shrunk to fit. I think this is a bug with the iBooks app.
In ADE, the new code results in distorted images. In Sigil, the images disappear from the screen though they do appear in the book when viewed in ADE.
We tried the original book on his son's newer model Sony Reader and the pictures are fine. So it seems to be a case of an older model Sony and a buggy Apple app. Since the images work well on everything else that we tested, we've decided to leave it alone. It's a bit like complaining that your old DVD player doesn't play BlueRay: suck it up and buy a new DVD player then. As for Apple, they're always contrary and there isn't much one can do about that.
Thank you for your suggestions, though. The help was appreciated and it gave me something to work with.
