I shouldn't have mentioned pixels; let's talk about centimetres. The screen of my Aura HD is roughly 10.4 x 13.8 cm, so the maximum size to be got out of the example picture is 13.8 x 4.6 cm. But since my reader doesn't auto-rotate the image, I can only get this size if I rotate it by 90 degrees before putting it in the book. If I didn't do this, I would only get to see the image at a size of 10.4 x 3.5 cm. All this has nothing to do with the resolution or pixel size of the image.

So this definitely means that for everybody to be able to enjoy the images at the maximum possible size, two versions of the book are required - one for auto-rotate readers, with all the images right side up, and one for non-auto-rotate readers, with images in landscape format rotated by 90 degrees.
Dubbs:

I honestly am completely confused by your post. Your Aura HD doesn't zoom? You can't tap it, zoom, and THEN rotate to see it better? Really? You're saying that if you tap or click (whichever) on the Aura, you then cannot rotate it, post-zooming, to see the image better? Or does the "set to not rotate" ALSO dictate what happens in your image zoomed view--assuming that exists?

And secondly, what the hell does your screen size, or autorotation, have to do with the maximum "size" you can see, of an image? Or the size it's embedded?

If you embed the image, at, hell, let's go hog-wild--2500 pixels wide, you're saying that you will still ONLY see it at 10.4 x 3.5cm, because you don't, or won't, or can't, rotate your device. So, because of your DEVICE SETTING, you're making two different books--instead of just making one book with full-sized images, and zooming? You can't zoom and rotate?

Is anyone else here that can explain what he means to me? I know we had an Aura here, but for the life of me, I don't remember anything, ANYTHING like this, that somehow, the size of the SCREEN limited what you could do with images.

Or is this all just so you don't have to turn off "don't rotate" on your Aura?
