Yes; that worked. Picking a pixel size is, I guess, one way of accomplishing this. As the images in my book are "png", that may be the only "size reducer" available(?). I think I'd like to have an option of compression but maintain pixel size. Does that make sense?

Perhaps the pictures in the ePub must be "jpg" instead of "png"? I write that because a quick web-search only reveals online png compression utilities that make the png's pixel size smaller. If so, that would probably require that the conversion option (ePub>ePub) first convert the picture to jpeg and then apply a certain amount of compression before re-assembling the ePub's components.

Of course, I may be ignorant of something critical about how ePubs shouldn't use jpgs because certain e-readers don't like them. (I'm throwing stuff at the wall here, I admit.)

Maybe I should be posting in the "Plugins Suggestion" thread.

Thanks
