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.

That image looks like a jpeg that's over-compressed. What's needed is a new version of that image that's not been over-compressed.
