I wouldn't call it a book either. The rust manual, to which had a
 bookmark (!) on this tablet, was the first example I thought of.
 It was just fortuitous that it had 'book' in the url. I see this
 in the source:
  <!-- Book generated using mdBook -->

I had forgotten. A few years back I converted a 'tunebook' - a mix of musical scores and text - into mobi format for display on a kindle. You want the score to occupy the whole page width, as big as possible. I wasn't sure how mobi resized the images, hence my comment in https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=171470#4147314 
"I wonder if the mobi has converted the compressed SVGs to some
 other image format, each at several sizes for different
 Kindles?"
