I have a large project which was originally done in InDesign. I needed to create a reflowable .mobi file. After realizing doing this thru InDesign there were too many nested images to deal with so I just exported an HTML file from InDesign and did the formatting in Jutoh.

Jutoh did a great job re nesting the images but I did have to correct alot of styling which exported incorrectly but overall I was pretty satisfied.

Now came the bad part as converting the html to an epub using Sigil generated alot of errors I was able to correct and get an errorless epub that looked pretty good but the final file the client wanted was a mobi so I opened in Calibre and converted the epub over to a mobi.

The result is the images are crushed to a point where they are almost 1/2 of what they looked like in the epub so what I'm asking is whats the best way to get the images as close in size as the epub in this mobi file?

see images in attached files.

thx R
