Hi there,

I am wondering if anyone has any advice on how to get image sizing working on Kindle for iOS?

Image sizing is working well for me on KF8 devices (eg. Kindle Fire) but Kindle for iOS (AZK) is completely ignoring my image sizing. Older Kindle devices are also ignoring image sizing but I can live with this.

I'm guessing that the issue might be because I am using percentages rather than pixels to size my images (in the CSS) and I think I may have read somewhere that only the KF8 format supports percentages?

For a whole lot of reasons I need to keep using percentages if I can, and also the idea of redoing 100 images from percentages to pixels hurts my head!

If this is indeed the reason why AZK is ignoring my image sizes does anyone know of a workaround I can use? Perhaps I can leave Kindle Fire as percentages and then in CSS have some sort of media query for iOS for each image that lists pixel sizes instead of percentages?? That would be a bit of work and not sure if even possible??

Any help will be much appreciated.

Many thanks, Heulwen
