I am testing on three devices.
apple computer - iBook
Nook-Simple Touch
Kobo-Touch

by just inserting a picture file into Sigil and saving the epub, both the apple and the nook auto centered the picture upon display, but Kobo did not.

I went and centered the pic in Sigil and that fixed the problem...but
On Kobo, a large "1" is being displayed under the picture, and I need to get rid of it.

Any ideas why that is? Neither the Nook, nor iWork display this random number under the picture.

Lastly, when I save my jpg, it give me a choice of least to best as far as quality goes. The least is only 10% the size of the best. Upon inserting each of these images into sigil and saving the epub, the epub files are also 10X different, but I see no visible difference when I check on the three devices. Am I missing something here? Should I just use the smallest image. They all display beautifully and one would be much much smaller and therefore desirable.
