How about an atlas?

For the symbols, I could use images, but MobiPerl (which I use to generate the .mobi) includes the same images multiple times, and with Calibre I would not have the same degree of control over the resulting .mobi

If you don't mind, I'd like to see your framework. I've been thinking about how to do one for a while now.

I've NEVER solved that issue, and I tried all sorts of permutations and combinations using <div>, <p>, <span>, inline CSS, etc!

In case I didn't say it, I'm interested in a solution too!

Sorry, why couldn't you use Mobipocket Creator (just this once )! Even let Nate the great do it for you!

First, because I'm on linux

Second, I don't say I will never use it, I just have never used it and would prefer a solution that does not need it. That said, I also don't trust it, since I don't know what changes it might introduce to my code (like reducing images to below 61KB), and if I'm going that way, I'd choose Calibre

Have you looked at mobigen?

Hmm... not really, is it for linux? The webpage does not mention it.

Just to be clear. You are all welcome to do any conversion you want, the files and images are free to use, I only warn you this is still a work in progress (I'd like, at least, to add a page with some data about the maps and a "user guide").

I explode Mobipocket Creator prepared .prc ebooks all the time using Mobi2IMP and can tell you there is nothing to worry about, as the images therein do not get shrunk in the image filesize below the Palm-devices' contraint.

However, I do see weird behaviour on the software Mobipocket Reader when using calibre prepared .prc ebooks and only use Mobipocket Creator for creating same.

Why not just experiment on a duplicate copy of your files and this way, if it's not to you're liking, just delete that scratch copy!

Try it, you might like it...
