That's a great idea. I hadn't seen that plugin before. The size of the book were reduced by like 90% though. So I guess it doesnt make "scrambled" images of the same size as the original book has? Thanks for the tip though! Will try it out.

Then try the ePub again and see if your Kobo works with it.

You're correct. I do also got the font on my Kobo, so it's not really needed. But then again it's not really a problem considering size. I tried compressing the images but it made almost no difference whatsoever.
I found another book (similar in size and layout with many pictures) that are causing the same problem. Adding it and disconnecting the Libra from my PC made it freeze at 6% processing, and the problems started all over again. It copies the book in full to the Libra (i can see it in explorer, and also open it and read it from the Libra storage in calibre reader). But it wont get added to the database.
Other books work great with the same CSS etc.
Thankfully I've learned to take complete backups of everything on the Libra now, so I can just copy it all (books, database, settings etc) back without losing anyting.
