: Re: Downscaled screenshots of HTML tables look blurry. Why? My EPUB contained many HTML tables, many of which would break on small screens. I therefore took screenshots of the tables and inserted

Sekhemty already gave a good answer. I just wanted to throw out further thoughts.

First, issues of rendering HTML tables and images are less severe on tablets with bigger screens. You can put a note on the book description that the ebook is best when viewed on a 9 inch tablet or something like that.

For Amazon books, my rule of thumb has been to upload the maximum resolution image into the ebook because Amazon will downsize the image automatically according to the type and size of device. Downsizing images is unnecessary for kindles.

Another idea (regardless of whether you do images or HTML tables) is to use CSS to force a page break and then render the table or image in landscape mode using the css. A lot of tables tend to be wider than taller, and I think readers are comfortable for viewing tables in landscape mode.
