Any way to make images exact size using HTML?

khutch · 09-18-2009, 02:51 PM

I'm converting HTML to MOBI (for the Kindle) and in the HTML, I have something like this:

<img src="image.jpg" width="75px">

The HTML looks fine in a web browser, but when I look at the converted ebook on my Kindle, the images are full width. (The original images are much larger, and I don't want to have to manually resize all of them).

Is this a function of Calibre not using the tags in HTML, or is it a limitation of the MOBI format? Or am I just doing something wrong?

interesting, calibre should be preserving the width attribute on the img tag, if not its a bug. open a ticket and attach a test case.

Have you tried this Mobi eBook in Mobipocket for Windows?

I still can't get the img width attribute to work... Is this a bug? How can I report it?
