When you load the html files in your web view make sure that you set the base URL correctly using either loadHTMLString:baseURL: or loadData:MIMEType:textEncodingName:baseURL:. Then webview should load the images normally.

If you want to maximize them when the user taps, the easiest way would be something like this:

inject jQuery into your EPUB html in webViewDidFinishLoad:
add an action to all <img> tags using jQuery which calls a cocoa method using a custom url protocol like my-epub-app://maximize-img/cool-photo.jpg
catch and handle this custom protocol in your webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType: and return NO to prevent webview from trying to load your invalid URL.

Hope this helps…

Thanks @enguin. Though i hav got answer, i will try yours also — Balamurugan, Apr 11 '13 at 09:38
