Using absolute units in img width tends to fail

[DNSB]

For me, the only time I use absolute units for images is for ebook files that intended to be distributed by Amazon AND the author is worried about the minuscule number of people who still use Kindles that require .mobi format.

I do have and use a test epub which uses various ways to display a series of images. If a renderer does not handle that test epub properly, it is a pile of steaming well-aged bovine manure and should not be used.

Well then, I must say—and please don't take this the wrong way—that you don't know much about epub. No, the application you use to open an ebook is not irrelevant. Why don't you try opening the sample chapter I'm attaching in Cantook, Reasily, or Lithium and see what you get? Then do the same in FB Reader or Moon+. There's a world of difference (and try changing the font size)! The reading experience on the e-readers I recommend is infinitely superior to what you can get on FB Reader and Moon+ (although I acknowledge that Readest, as a derivative, a fork of Foliate, can display an epub well, it is no easier to use than the readers I recommend).



Cantook, Reasily, Lithium, PocketBook are also free and easier to use than Readest.

While BookFusion has a subscription model, you can use it without subscribing. It's what I use on my iPhone and iPhad. What do you think makes it a bit basic?

Does anyone have a good ePub3 test ePub to try?

The sample I posted is a good epub3 to test; here you have it again:

Alice Sample.epub

It has all the code needed to avoid fragmentation, even with "L" images. And the drop cap should look perfect with a proper ereader (no matter the font or the font-size because it uses the property "initial-letter").
