Craiko she/her Posted March 13, 2024 Posted March 13, 2024 Hello I was reading The Way of Kings on my phone earlier today, and tried to zoom in on a Shallan's writing in one of the illustrations, but the text was blurry. To make sure, I found a similar one in Rhythm of War, and this issue was not present here. It is rather cumbersome to have to go on the coppermind wiki to look at the illustration and be able to read it. Is it possible for Brandon/his editor to fix this ? Also, I haven't checked all the other Stormlight books I own except Words of Radiance, which also works fine.

Also, I haven't checked all the other Stormlight books I own except Words of Radiance, which also works fine. The Way of Kings ebook was published with much lower resolution images, and (as far as I know) there have been no new versions changing that. For example: WoK Chapter headers: PNG 300x163px - WoR: 1536x818 px WoK Internal Art: (avg) JPG 390x590px - WoR 1360x2050px I actually bought WoK epub back when it was a new release, and bought a new copy about a year ago, hoping it had been updated with higher resolution images now that Sanderson is popular enough to get higher-quality ebooks (and hoping it had maybe been updated for the 10th anniversay), but the new one was the same as the old one. I was able to manually update my epub by editing it in Calibre and changing out each image with the higher resolution downloaded through the Coppermind. However, that still does not fix the chapter headers, because I have not found any place to get better-than-300px versions of those images. I'm not sure if that kind of fix would be viable with a Google book though since I have never used that platform (Kobo e-ink readers for me). Hope that helps. Edited March 14, 2024 by Treamayne SPAG
