insert metadata in book - text size

cybmole · 02-14-2011, 03:36 PM

i see that on the last couple of books which i converted & sent to kindle, the metadata summary ( added via insert metadata conversion option ) is in very small print, compared to the main story text.

i.e. with story text set at a comfortable reading size via KIndle options , the metadata summary is almost unreadably small?

I see no obvious way to control this on the edit metadata page - is there one ?

& has anything changed in latest release that could be affecting text size ?

PS view html source shows the summaries as beginning with
<p class="description">SUMMARY:<br>

no strange code there

could it be that the entire summary is being forced to shrink to fit one e-book "page" , thus the longer the summary, the smaller the text ?

I purchased a new monitor and it requires 1366x768 display resolution, however when using calibre to convert a book the metadata page if so large I can not click on the convert button and therefore can' t convert anything. I their a way to shrink the metadata page ? Everything else works find in Calibre. I can't fix this through the monitor settings. Phil

the convert window is freely resizable, simply resize it.

Why would you purchase a monitor with such a low resolution? You should purchase a monitor that is at least full HD (1920x1080).
