Re: Picture book ebook help!

Bonnie, do you mean that Dennis should use percentages in the software 
program in which the ebook is created?

Photoshop is a bitmap image editing program. Photoshop images have a 
fixed size.

Dennis, when you add the image to the HTML of the e-book file, you can 
set the image height and width or leave them undefined. Here (or in your 
CSS, using a class) is where you might want to use percentages.

Like Bonnie said, percentages are the best way to use the same image for 
multiple devices—especially if you're designing a fixed-layout e-book.

Screen sizes for some common devices:

iPad 3               1536×2048

Nook HD+             1280×1920
Kindle Fire HD 8.9"  1200×1920

Nook HD              900×1440

Kindle Fire HD       800×1280
Kobo Arc             800×1280
Galaxy Note 10.1     800×1280

iPad 2, iPad Mini    768×1024
Kindle Paperwhite    768×1024
Kobo Glo             768×1024

Kindle Fire          600×1024
Nook Tablet, Color   600×1024
