I think this belongs in this area of the forums, if not, feel free to put me where I belong.
I'm formatting a non-fiction book for epub and mobi. It is an 1850s true crime. I have some images that are page size. Two maps and a picture of a gallows, so they are taller than they are wide.
For POD I have no problem, as I've done that before, but I'm not sure how to handle it in an eBook because of the flowing text aspect. I think my other images should be fine if I mingle them throughout the text and the text will flow around because they are smaller, but with a tall image will I end up with large blank spot of no text before the image comes up?
In the POD version I have most of the images together in the middle of the book, the smaller ones, two on a page. Will it work better to put the images together in the middle of the eBooks too? Put them at the end instead of the middle and include a list of illustrations after the table of contents?
I found the Resources section of the self-publishing threads quite helpful for general eBook formatting but the bulk of what I find seems to be geared mostly towards fiction.
