From my experimenting (and again, I haven't seen results except in Sigil's "View" and Calibre's ebook Viewer) on the backmatter images, it would make sense to go with a really big image (reduce it percentage-wise--mabye to 85%--in GIMP first so the file size doesn't bloat) and then set the % to 33%. That way on small screens the image would be reduced and on big screens it wouldn't be tiny.
Something like:
<img alt="OopsANavy1800X2700" src="../Images/OopsANavy1800X2700.jpg" style="width: 33%;height: auto;"/>
What do you think? What image size and % do you think is optimal?
I don't think I'll use the plugin on my current books (I'm not up for proofreading them again) but I will change the backmatter images--run the plug-in on a copy and then enter the HTML for the backmatter images on the original--and I'm definitely going to use it with my new books when I open the .html in Sigil. |
You really oughtn't to have to reproof them, just for using a plugin from William.
Secondly, ask William for help.He loves helping newbs, he does. He LOVES showing off his plugins. I'm not being sarcastic.
The plugin--all you do is put your image in, set the %, and the plugin tells the KF7 how to display the file on older devices, in pixels. Honest to crap, Gregg, it's easy.
In terms of the display...Uh..firstly, 1800x2700 for a thumbnail is godawful big. Unless you WANT to pay delivery fees you don't need to, make that more like...300px wide, at most. Then set it to whatever dang percentage you like, like...25% of the width of the screen, or whatever blows your skirt up.
OK?
