Image dimensions

[eBookNoir]

ePub created, almost completely images. They are 509x730, smaller then the 600x730 max that I could go. When viewing the ePub with previewer during Pubit upload, all the images go off the screen on the bottom and right side. Makes no sense, if the dimensions are exact, should fill the screen unless self imposed margins or less should fit perfectly.

Produced eBooks before with images and no issues, so what's the deal now with nook color, anyone have suggestions on something to look at?

Thanks.

I don't know anything about Pubit, but if your epub file displays correctly on your own Nook, I don't see any reason why Pubit should alter its look, if I'm reading what you say correctly.

One thing you might try - you can force the size of images in your epub file by using a style entry in the css file. For example, after I converted an rtf file to epub with Calibre, all images of a particular size had a class assigned by Calibre of .calibre5. The images appeared larger than I wanted. So I was able to modify the size of all of them in one shot by changing the style sheet using Sigil:

.calibre5 {
height: 32px;
width: 27px
}

If you didn't go this route and your <img> statements do not already use a class, you can add one to the css file and then type it into all your img statements:

<img ... class="myclass1">

and then modify the class statement itself in the css file to try different sizes for you images:

.myclass1 {
height: 700px;
width: 490px
}

Using this technique you can try different image sizes without actually modifying the images themselves, which is a big help in trying to get your epub to display correcvtly on the device.

Just an idea.

i'll give that a shot, thanks. i don't use calibre, too many issues and bloat on things.

It's a graphic novel with every page 2-3 images, so each page is nothing but images, div class no img class. perfect on ipad, just nook being a pain in the ass. i'll give that a shot and see. thanks again.
