Ooh-ooh-ooh, I know, I know! (she said, raising her hand). LOL.
You can blame that right on Apple. When iBooks (now known as Books, stupidest name for an eBook-reading app, ever) first debuted, alas and alack, it could not size images. The only way to size them was to put them inside a container and size the container. Y'all must remember that from "ePUB: Straight to the Point," by the dear Liz Castro, who seems to have packed up her eBookery bag and moved along?
Yupperdoodle. Same reason that we all see,
and are plagued by, fixed-layout ePUBs exported from INDD that
only work on Books, f/k/a iBooks. (Oh, okay, fine, they also work on Kobos, as KoboBooks
mooched, cough, er, homaged Apple's FXL coding.)
