The Economist recipe images are too large
I noticed that when I fetch The Economist the images look pixelized. I opened the same images on my computer just to realize that at 100% the are actually magnified by the factor 2. How can I customize the economist (free) recipe to shrink all the images to 50% (which in fact will be the actual size)?

This allows the image to be as large as the space provided, but no larger. I don't see any CSS in the free Economist, so I would expect the image to be full size, if it fits, not scaled up. However, if the OP has a default device set, the recipe will create images scaled for the screen size of that device. If he then views it on his computer - the image may have been sampled down for the device when the recipe EPUb was created, then scaled up when viewed on a larger computer screen. What device is set for the default? What device is he viewing the recipe on?
Code:
extra_css='img {max-width:50%;}' |

That didn't help. There is some problem with the image file themselves. When I go to the website from where the economist is being downloaded (feed://feeds.feedburner.com/economist/full_print_edition) and I take any photo from an article, copy it to the desktop and open it (I use preview app on the mac) the image opens blurry on 100%. When I set zoom to 50% it looks sharp. The same happens on my Kindle DX. The images look exactly the same way as they do in preview on my mac when zoom is set to 100% (of course without color on kindle)
