Maybe we can look at the sample and see what is going on.
Thanks for your interest David. I have investigated further and it seems that with my books (kepubs) and e-reader (Aura HD) pictures are displayed at 2/3 the linear size of picrures on the IPAD Kobo App compared with the page size.

For example look at a preview of "The Irrationals" by Julian Havil, a few pages in from the start of Chapter 1 (page 12 of 86 with my font size) there is a timeline diagram (Figure 1.1). On an IPAD this diagram occupies the full width of the displayed page. On the Aura it takes up about 2/3 of the page width. So its 2/3X2/3 =4/9 the size, which makes it total unreadable.

Another example - "Infinite series" by James Hyslop. Around page 3 or 4 of chapter 1 there is the formula for a function (its a picture). The IPAD version is much larger on the page (its actually too large to fit) whereas the Aura version is less than half a page wide.

Hope that helps.
