Ah, I see. I reckon some of my images might work out smaller as SVG, others perhaps not. I can always try a sampling of them and find out.

I am currently assuming that your target devices must be tablets or desktops, since ereaders don't really see suitable for this purpose (zooming etc. is cumbersome). The look-inside from your example link makes it look like poor photo copies from the original - yes, we have that book here too - and I'd hate to have that fixed layout on an ereader - although epub v3 does support fixed layout if you want it. So I wonder if epub and mobi formats are actually necessary or appropriate. Just guessing, I have no experience with this sort of publication. |
Yeah it may well turn out not to be good on an ereader. It's something I -want- to have it available on if I can, but only if the appearance and ease-of-use is good enough. I could well end up only doing a PDF format.
