Feat. Suggest.: Convert color pages into black and white

avid01 · 03-28-2013, 03:45 PM

When I want to convert pages like this for E Ink consumption I always get into trouble. So far the only solution is to copy and paste the page into LibreOffice, manually make the page into a black and white scheme, then add it to Calibre.

I thought it would be a nice feature if Calibre would recognize these non-standard color combinations and convert them to black and white automatically. Or by selecting a check mark.

Use the filter css option under look and feel in the conversion dialog.

Thank you. And it works. As it seems do I have to set it individually for each documents or is there a way to preset it to work on all documents?
