While we try to get to as many as possible for good ol' eyeball QC, we have to resort to automated methods of ensuring the books are well-formed and capable of being displayed correctly on the multitude of platforms that we support of all different shapes and sizes. I don't *think* there's much we can do about the Adobe DRM'd ePubs (except ask the publisher nicely to make some changes), but if you ever see a kobo-formatted book which is malformed in any way, send us an email and we'll get it fixed. |

Really all you need to do is go into Calibre, choose convert, select page setup, select Kobo as output and Default Input Profile as input and run the job, and it fixes it. Now I know absolutely nothing about the agreements you have with publishers regarding what you can do with their material so this may be out of the question... but I really don't see why it should be and honestly the publisher probably wouldn't even notice. EDIT: Thanks for the reply, I know I'm a harsh critic but it's because I really do like your device and the Kobo way/philosophy. Really it's worlds better than anything else out there. But I'm going to continue to be harsh, because hey, the market is harsh Last edited by dos; 10-23-2010 at 12:18 AM. |

It would probably be due to support, the scripts that the outsourced tech support people read would have a lot of trouble keeping up with MobileRead. Outsourced tech support aren't going to be able to help anyone who runs into problems with performing a SD card upgrade for example.

I wonder if the display size a person uses has something to do with how much margin they want to see. I use medium text display, and the margins (in most books) amount to about 5 characters in width. I'm fine with that. When I go smaller, the margins are the same size, but then would allow several more extra words per line if made smaller. I can see that people who read print too small for my old eyes would think the margins are overly large when I would not.
