Keep individual XC source images under 5 MB each for faster processing and reliable layout preservation; optimal ebook size is under 50–100 MB for device compatibility.
To preserve visual quality, choose lossless image handling or the high-quality AZW3 preset; avoid aggressive downscaling if you need detailed illustrations.
