Download the "Alice in Wonderland" ebook, this has pictures in it. When you change the font size in ADE (on a PC), the pictures also scale with the fontsize.

On the other hand. I downloaded a free ebook from mobileread (Reprinted Pieces by Charles Dickens, Illustrated) in epub format. Opened it with ADE on my PC. Here the pictures do not scale with the fontsize.... I wonder why? Is there some additional formatting in this ebook, that is not there in the Alice in Wonderland ebook?
You can specify heights of images in ebooks using units like 'em'...

Code:
<img class="ir" style="width:18em;height:27em" src="images/alice02a.gif" alt="The White Rabbit"/>
That's right from the alice ePub that I have which does this. Rescaling here is expected, as the meaning of 'em' changes with the default font size. If I specify my image size in pixels, which are considered a fixed unit, I expect the size not to change with font scaling... and indeed this is the case (I can even use fixed font sizes this way, but it isn't recommended for text at all).

The fact that the DR800 does rescale images that use a fixed pixel height/width seems to make it different from even my 505.
