Thanks for the report. That’s pretty frustrating to hear. I work for Brandon, and I make all the ebook images to deliver to Tor, as well as review their ePub file before it gets published. I max out the image sizes per Apple’s 4-million-pixel limit, and I optimize them as best I can.
The Lost Metal uses the same image quality as all of Brandon’s books since Words of Radiance. Do you also see poor quality images in e.g. Rhythm of War on that device?
The ePub for The Lost Metal is 9.9 MB.
(Under Macmillan’s deal with Amazon, they do not have to cover delivery fees the way KDP authors do. Delivery fees are a scam by Amazon anyway.)
