I can follow the directions ok, but the Kindle often has other ideas.<br /><br />I have better luck by inserting my picture, then look at it on the screen and re-size it to look right, as I did the article below:<br /><br />http://www.cjs-easy-as-pie.com/2011/12/how-to-place-picture-into-your-file_23.html<br /><br />Keep in mind that the Kindle** can't flow text around your pictures, so you might as well make your images full width... otherwise you will just have wide white margins on either size.<br /><br />(**I'm speaking of the "classic" Kindle... not the new Fire. The Kindle Fire can jump through hoops, but that requires actual programming, which is beyond the scope of 'easy as pie".)<br /><br />My guess is, you will be happier just sizing your images to look right, as I have described in the link above.<br /><br />CJCJ's Easy As Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937190400653087716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631024772188885753.post-66149207957927490352012-05-04T10:11:20.802-05:002012-05-04T10:11:20.802-05:00Hi - your site is great.

I want to include lots of small pictures - approx. 2 inches by 2 inches. When I resized them to 72dpi the file size is reduced to approx 5 kb; I'm concerned that they will look awful and wonder if I should increase the picture size (don't really want to do that). Can you help?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087826734065005025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631024772188885753.post-36645224966726155112011-10-16T10:05:18.582-05:002011-10-16T10:05:18.582-05:00Hi Dave,
