Also, ID writes the CSS with image width as 100% by default when the image spans the page.
I'm afraid I disagree that this makes for oversized images in K4PC or on the IPad. Doesn't do it on my devices. Unfortunately I don't have a Kindle of any variety and so must rely on Kindle Previewer. Yes, the images are quite small on the the 8.9" version but they can be enlarged to full page width easily. Clearly I'll have to find a way to test the final product on a Kindle.
Thanks for the advice re TIN. I'm Canadian and when I tried to set up an account this morning I didn't see any options for a test account. I'll try again.
BTW (smile), I did see Tex2002ans but that was so far from your original note that I decided that couldn't be right.
Thanks again and cheers,
Paul

I never said that 100% would overdrive on an iPad. Obviously, that has physical constraints, unlike K4PC/Mac. You're certainly entitled to your opinion.
Advice I provide assumes a couple of things; as this is the "Kindle Formats" sub-forum, my assumption is that folks are making eBooks, and that they're tweaking them from an eBook perspective, as in editing HTML/CSS. If you're not, that's up to you. We use INDD here, when needed, to make print versions of books and then make eBooks; however, we tweak the output ePUBs extensively, and if that means revamping images, that's what we do. However, we're a commercial production house.
