thanks both- I was aware of the kepub zoom option but you need to see a sequence of equations to follow an explanaion. so blowing them up one at a time when there may be 20+ on a screen would be fiddly.

I did wonder if blowing up the base text font might help. I can try that quite easily with moon reader. I had tried rotating the tablet between landscape & portarit but that did not help much
annoyingly, the equation images are more gray than black ( maybe how they were captured with) and that does not help with legibility

yes the math does display inline, and making the images overlarge could wreck the page layout, as several may be intended to appear left to right on the same line

I have no plans to write a maths text but I am curious as to how it is best done for e-readers and if there are any good PD examples. I think I am trying to read a fairly lazy conversion of a paper book design .
