This is a long-running discussion or disagreement between NJ and I. He insists on telling newbs to always set ALL their images to width="100%" for mobi. I've repeatedly said that this is a bad idea, because the images can overdrive, if the reader uses a very large reading pane. {shrug}.
I'm not going to keep arguing with him. If I wanted to do that, I'd go post over at the KDP, where the lunatics really have taken over the asylum. (Not meaning you, nj--it's just simply
vile in there these days.) He'll persist in doing what he's doing until he has a reason to do otherwise.
This is an image set to a simple % of the window--with a SINGLE-page view, in K4PC. You can see the single-column width of the reader overdriving the image into fuzz, although at "regular" or even remotely regular size, it's fine. This isn't even a good example--I simply had it to hand. If I put my mind to it, I could find a lot of really awful ones.
