I often have this problem when converting from amazon KF8 books.
Yet another reason for not using absolute measurements when specifying image or font sizes since they, by defnition, are not scaleable.

I've owned ebooks where the image and font sizes were specified in pixels. Looked okay on my original Kobo (the mark 1 with Bluetooth and a 600x800 screen) but when I re-read it on my KA1, everything was tiny and could not be resized. A quick edit of the CSS to change to relative measurements and while the images look a bit soft, I can now change the font size and the images don't need a magnifying glass.

Mobi format ebooks do require images to be specified in pixels. Yet another reason to prefer AZW3.
