We are putting together an ePub that contains some large technical images that contain text. We are concerned that when viewed on small devices these images will be too small and the text won't be readable.

What is the best approach to deal with this?

In testing in iBooks and Amazon Kindle Preview we found that by using a large quality image shrunk down to fit the layout, the image could be clicked to reveal its full-size. However, this functionality doesn't appear to work in our target device, the Kindle Voyage.

We also tried linking the smaller image to another page at the back of the ePub containing a full-size image but we could only get external links to URLs working in iBooks and Amazon Kindle Preview. Links to pages don't seem to work.

We are using a reflowable layout.

Any tips please?
