3. The MOBI is sent to the client via Dropbox (irrelevant here although we are going to test if the file is somehow getting corrupted via Dropbox).
4. The client emails the MOBI to their Kindle.
5. The MOBI is readable on the Kindle but image zooming doesn't work.

I have attached the MOBI if anyone would be kind enough to test and let me know if image zooming works as expected.

Thanks

Dropbox is NOT corrupting your files. My entire company lives and dies on Dropbox; we have, literally, thousands of folders and likely tens of thousands of files. Hell, for all I know, including fonts, images, etc., over a hundred thousand files spread over the entire crew. We've NEVER had Dropbox corrupt a file. Not in over 5 years, maybe closer to 7; can't remember.

NOW: Does this mobi have this:

div._idGenPageitem-2 {
	display:inline-block;
	height:247px;
	width:342px;
}

...like the ePUB, constraining the image size? in actual, fixed PIXELS? Did you try changing that, to see if suddenly, you could zoom the image?

A personal note to my MR peeps:

Spoiler:

To my MR friends: as some of you may have read on the V&R thread, I've had a couple of pretty vexing months, personally; my 48-y.o. baby bro died suddenly in May, and my husband had a massive heart attack on the 12th of this month--10 days ago. He's fine, we were extraordinarily lucky. So, I want to apologize for being bitchier than usual. I am not posting this for sympathy; thanks but no thanks. I just know that my usual sunny (okay, not sunny, but...) self isn't, and I'm explaining the why of it.
