The default ePub 2 reader of Pocketbook Inkpad 3 (PB740) shows images quite small. This is a problem especially with books that contain graphs and mathematical expressions.
With firmware v.5.20.1010 this was the case for all ePub files.
With firmware v.6.1.1069 this has fortunately improved. The release notes for this firmware version mention that they "Fixed some problems displaying illustrations in certain books in EPUB, DOC, DOCXformat", which might have something to do with this.
Looking at the extensions.cfg and handlers.cfg files in system/config/, it seems that there are now (in firmware v6) several built-in reader apps:
I wonder if "blink" is referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(browser_engine).
Either way, it seems that opening ePub files (even ePub 2 files) with "PB Reader (EPUB 3)" will show all images much larger than "PB Reader (EPUB 2)" did.
"PB Reader (EPUB 2)" still shows images much smaller, in the same way as the default reader in firmware v5 did for all ePub files.
I'm posting this just as a heads-up: if you like your ePub illustrations large, try installing the latest firmware from https://www.pocketbook-int.com/int/s...tbook-inkpad-3 and opening your ePubs with the "PB Reader (EPUB 3)" reader via the library (press and hold on an ePub file).
