MrMikel,

I probably should have gone with two print books. I've literally spent more time working on the images than I spent writing the books, compiling the data for the spreadsheets, and creating the tables and charts from the data.

I think a bigger problem than ePub not displaying tables well is the fact that there are virtually no fully compliant devices or software. After quite a few tries, I actually got my tables looking real good in 600x800 e-ink. But as I noted in my original post, when I make the images scalable, the image quality becomes unacceptable.

Tomorrow I'm redoing the images for the umpteenth and final time. This time they'll be SVG and if I get Times New Roman instead of a sans serif font, so be it. It's time to wrap this up and move on.
