Right now I have a problem with pictures in ebooks on my Bebook:

I scanned 2 books and used an OCR software. In the end, I saved them both as htm files with a few jpg pictures. Some of the jpg files have been bigger then 800x600 (the screen resolution of my Bebook is 800x600) others have been resized to something like 800x500 or 700x600, depending on the original size.

After that, I converted the htm files to mobi files, with the free software "Calibre". Also I told Calibre to include a cover image.Now, if I look at the preview in Calibre, the pictures are there - if I put them on my Bebook, they are missing. However, the cover image is working fine.

As an example: On the top half of the page, there is text, the lower half is empty. That is ok, since the jpeg file is larger then remaining free part. But when I turn a page follow, there is no picture. Instead, the text just continues.

I use the normal img src="name.jpg" command. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong ?
