Good way to view images in epub and/or mobi files?
I am struggling with tiny diagrams in some epub and mobi files. Can anyone suggest Mac software which lets users (a) find all the images, and (b) enlarge them?
I have tried the Calibre reader. It doesn't help me find the images, and tends to yield blurry results if I zoom them. Last edited by MarjaE; 12-07-2020 at 12:23 PM. |

Those must be rather old eBooks to make such small images. |

A while back, I looked at the ebook version of a high school level math book. The images didn't look bad at the normal resolution but when you zoomed them, they looked like crud. Evidently, nobody thought that anyone would zoom the images to be able to actually read the equations. I used the epub3 version and generated new images from the MathML and used those to rebuild the ebook (MathML => SVG => PNG). Looked much better but the ebook size went from 2.1MB to 24MB even with lossless compression applied to the mass of images.

Thousands of the damn things. We spent a ton of time making them large enough to zoom properly and small enough to not look ridiculous inline. What a hassle. SVG would be soooooooooooooooo much easier... Hitch |
