Body: <p>I have a new Kobo Libra and bought 2 online <code>epub</code> books.
  I transferred them onto Kobo by using <code>Calibre</code>. When opening the eBook the layout is fine except that all images appear very small!? I've opened the the eBook in <code>Calibre</code> and there everything looks fine, the images are scaled to a readable/viewable size.</p>
  <p>Is this an issue with Kobo, the <code>.epub</code> format or something else?</p>

Title: Kobo Libra images appear very small

ThreadText: # Kobo Libra images appear very small
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-09-23)
  
  I have a new Kobo Libra and bought 2 online `epub` books.
  I transferred them onto Kobo by using `Calibre`. When opening the eBook the layout is fine except that all images appear very small!? I've opened the the eBook in `Calibre` and there everything looks fine, the images are scaled to a readable/viewable size.
  
  Is this an issue with Kobo, the `.epub` format or something else?

  I found a hacky solution to the problem by editing the eBook's styling using `Calibre`.
  
  Importing the ebook and then right click on `Edit book` which opens the actual contents of the book. Now the actual formatting is done via a stylesheet (in my case called `stylesheet.css`).
  
  In this stylesheet there are the generated properties for the image sizes, e.g.
  
  ```
  .calibre95 {
      height: 229px;
      width: 226px
  }
  
  ```
  
  Now the images can be adjusted by editing the height and width of every relevant entry. I've done this via a small Python script since Calibre generated a new entry for each image and there were a lot.
