Pictures. A book that drew a small illustration at the head of each chapter was drawing it twice,
and both copies too small.

Fixed

• Chapter illustrations appeared twice, at two different sizes. Books converted for the Kindle
  routinely carry two copies of the same picture — one for each of Amazon's two formats — and hide
  the spare one. Reader was not reading the instruction to hide it, so it drew both. This also
  stops Reader reading the things those books hide on purpose, like print-edition page numbers and
  a second, redundant table of contents, as though they were part of the story.
• Every picture in a book was drawn at roughly half the size it was meant to be. Book
  illustrations are sized for an ordinary screen, and Reader was taking those sizes literally on a
  much finer one — so a chapter ornament covered a fifth of the page instead of a third. Pictures
  are now drawn at their intended size, still centered, and still shrunk to fit when they are
  larger than the page. A full-page illustration looks exactly as it did; it is the small ones
  that were wrong.

Page previews are rebuilt once per book after this update, since where the pages fall has moved.
