That table is useless. ignore it. ePUB2 is perfectly compatible with all Amazon devices. I recommend not trying ePUB3 unless/until you are dramatically more experienced with eBook-making and can work in the markup/code.

Aspect ratio of the picture: When I wrote that the ratio of the picture is wrong (after exporting and looking at it in Calibre) then I meant exactly that. I was not talking about how it did not fit the screen on all 4 sides. I know that both is not possible.

Any thoughts on that? Therefore I thought it has to be MOBI.

Again, it's not the format. It's the HTML and CSS inside the format. If you build a mobi the same way as you built the ePUB, the images will be distorted, too.

I suspect that your coding says something about "100%" size, in both directions, or the like. (e.g., width 100%, for BOTH height and width.) And when you do that and then open that up in a desktop reader (like Calibre) where you can stretch the reader's dimensions in any old direction, yup, you get distorted images. Or, hell, on a real device, where the coding forces the image to stretch to fill the window, when it oughtn't due to the aspect ratio.

(snippage).

I know a little about HTML, but def. not up to the point where it had to be for this. It wouldnt be only HTML but also I would have to know how each device treats certain things, wouldnt I?

So if coding is not an option, the next best is Word?

THX!

Well, if we could see your code, we could tell you how to fix it. Any chance you could open that up in Calibre's editor, find the code around one of your distorted images and repeat it here?
