Jon thanks for the tips.

The MOBi has two image. Well actuall the MOBI HTML reduced the images size in the HTML by a % to fit in the mobi reader client, but the actual size of the images is kept, even if it is larger than the screen size.

The Mobipocket clients Windows/Blackberry have an image viewer application that comes along with the MobiPocket reader. When the images is selected the image view is launched. Within the image view the reader can pan zoom and really view the image, even on a cell phone.


With MOBI created files the images are reduced this makes the image viewer usless.

html2lrf will not allow for the creation of fullscreen images since it preserves margins and headers
Sure I'll look at the demo.

I guess from your explanation the only thing I cannot grasp is why programs like PDFLRF and PDFRead display images just fine. They take up the full screen.

I guess what I am trying to figure out is
1) Does calibre ALWAYS reduce the image, (this is what I am seeing)
2) Does calibre only reduce the image if it is bigger than the screen.

If it's the latter then I wounder if its a DPI issue. Does the SONY reader have a higher DPI than the PC?
