I prefer left justified for my 7 inch tablet, but I can see using full justification on a full monitor. I tried what you tried and it worked on one book of about 12 that I tried it on. Personally since I prefer left justify I set this when I convert the book to my specs. There is a setting under the conversion options on the Look & Feel tab where you can set your alignment preference during conversion, see attached. Alternatively instead of converting the book if it is epub I suppose you could:
Good Luck. |

It was really hard to give up the Mobipocket reader. It was so easy to use and I loved the column formats.
Well. . . .It's now gone from my computer. I finally figured out how to get books to be three columns and cover my whole screen. Use my favorite font (Constantia) and even a soft buff background. So, I have my Cybook (Opus) which fits in my apron pocket or my bag. I have Calibre to let me keep things organized and read on the PC. My question is how can I get 3 columns/pages justified left Last edited by Gladtobemom; 05-19-2013 at 12:33 PM. |

Hi
I have a question regarding the multi-column view, too and I am not sure, if it was discussed elsewhere / I am too stupid to find the right button in the preferences menu . When I choose 2 columns per page, only 1 page is flipped after turning the page, e.g. it is displayed page 1+2, next turn would be 2+3 instead of 3+4. That is really strange and beats the purpose of that view IMHO. Strangely, it works fine in the "contents" section of a book. Using mac btw. Any ideas? |

[solved] css - line spacing - line height
I made adjustments in the color and the background (white is so hard for my eyes), but the program does not allow to adjust the line spaces.
I tryed to follow these instructions. Quote:
I found a solution and want to share with you. There is no line-spacing in css. Instead there is line-height. So, I just added this line in Preferences > User Stylesheet Code:
body { line-height:125%; } Congratulations Kovid Goyal. This is a great software! |

Styles to create iPad covers
Hopefully I'm posting this correctly.
I love the covers the iPad or iBooks on the iPad generates for ePubs. When I download an ePub from http://archiveofourown.org it always opens with an apple cover of various colours. Does anyone know the code to make ePubs I make from word files come in with the apple style cover instead of the calibre default one? I opened an AO3 file inside calibre, but there was nothing in the custom code box. I'm sure there is some kind of tag in the html that tells the ePub to use apples default but I'm too much of an html spaz to recognize it. Any help appreciated |

Sorry if this has been asked Before, but the thread is too long for me to go through every posting.
I have some Japanese books that are written in what is called tategaki, in other words the characters are aligned in vertical rows instead of horizontal lines. Because the Calibra Book Viewer handles things as lines (rows are not an option) I get vertical lines, i.e. the characters are rotated 90 degrees clockwise. I can pivot the monitor and read it just fine, but then the UI becomes extremely counter intuitive. So I am wondering if it is possible to create a few lines of CSS Style Sheet code that would rotate the characters 90 degrees counte-clockwise? That would give me the best of both Worlds. |

I don't know if any of the suggested CSS will work in the viewer, why don't you try ? The Kindle for PC/Mac software will render vertical text. BR |

If you don't leave room AND modify the base font, it lands INTO the text at the edge I use in the (my default)CSS body{ font-size: 1.2em; margin: 0 16pt 0 2pt;} At my normal reading at zoom level 3 (of 9), the numbers appear small and don't intrude (much) until 4 digits (a very large book) |

Hello,
I was just wondering if there's a way to override the text alignment embedded in my ebook with the user stylesheet. I've tried putting !important but it still won't work. |

Over-ride Device's Margins
Apologies in advance if wrong thread...
I've experienced an issue with every e-book viewer device I've tried. As I increase font/text size with settings, the margins also increase, reducing the space available to display words. At an extreme end, there are perhaps 1-2 words per line, and a page size becomes less than a sentence. As a programmer/analyst in a previous career, I understand that such an increase of margins would initially seem logical, but since screen area is fixed, in reality, there should be little need for margins beyond a couple of pixels. -Especially on pocket sized readers that have 1 inch wide plastic borders holding the LCD that are themselves physical margins. And as fonts increase, margins should decrease. My high level question is, would I be able to correct or by-pass this issue through learning and experimenting with CSS styles? What would the process be? I'm thinking that editing the CSS style within an epub ebook in calibre to get the left/right margins that work, followed by epub-to-epub conversion, and putting the new epub onto the device, might be the solution. I have not succeeded with this approach, though. Thanks for taking the time to read and provide suggestions! Last edited by Oldeyes; 05-15-2015 at 12:59 PM. |

Once you've done that, send the modified EPUB -- no need to convert it into itself, that just adds unnecessary layers of confusion. ebooks really shouldn't specify margins, every device already does that anyway. |
