Then I don't have idea why it looks like this on your DX.

Use CBZ output. It work better on DX as it allow to use entire screen.

Thank you.

I think that CBZ will be default format for DX from version 4.3.
This problem need to be examined more closely because MOBI should work too.

Hi guys, so I inserted a USB and it was labelled (E.....

http://imgur.com/igbObZg

I got a KCC Zip Archive (at around 160ish mb)... a cover and a metadata.opf...... I have calibre which I use to transfer my books... while it loaded and I see an image... I can't seem to open it to inspect further contents of the file...

I guess my question is what is a KCC Zip Archive?

Update: I converted that .cbz that wasn't opening directly in Calibre and now I have a working .epub... going to load it onto my Kobo and see if it sized properly... if not I am all for some suggestions to get a proper size in Kobo Touch.

Not really understand your post... KCC create single CBZ file. That file should be uploaded to Kobo. Nothing more. Nothing less. Converting it once more with Calibre will only mess the file.

I was saying that while I got a single .cbz the file looked different than how I remember it being in the past...

I use Calibre to load my stuff onto my Kobo... for whatever reason it was not allowing me to preview the results... which led me to convert to .epub on Calibre and enable me to view it.

I guess what you are suggesting is to not view the .cbz until after it is on my Kobo...

Update: I did a straight .cbz transfer on my Calibre and it looks pretty awesome. Are we able to make the images larger with this Kindle program? I notice that on the left and right a bit of white is present... Can I change that without enlarging it on the top and bottom? Or did the person who created this program make modifications built into the program itself to size accordingly for each device? The size is only a slight issue because the Kobo doesn't really allow you to stretch the image (at will) as far as I know.

Also I am curious, does keeping it CBZ preserve a large image or would converting it to .epub on Calibre just preserve the same size? It seems like maybe the size is the same when doing a Calibre conversion.

OK. Point by point.

Different look - Few version ago KCC started associate itself with CBZ/CBR/CB7 files. That caused change of icon and allowed to add that files to KCC with simple double click.

CBZ file that can't be opened in Calibre - Upload it somewhere and send me link in PM. I want to check it myself.

EPUB conversion - As you know both Kobo and KCC support EPUB format. But in this case CBZ just work better.

Image size - By default KCC downscale all images to target device screen size. Images smaller than device screen will be not resized. Margins on both sides are expected. This behavior can be overridden by Stretch/Upscale option during conversion.

Stretch will forcefully resize images so they will use entire screen. Upscale will try do it too but without breaking image ratio - better quality.

There issues when using it with the Kobo Aura HD.

1) I convert the CBZ into an epub
2) Then import the epub into Calibre
3) From Calibre I export the epub to my Kobo Aura HD as a kepub book.

When I open the book, all the pages are blank.

From what I can tell the issue is with the CSS it is using.

Well aparently kepub conversion damaged something. KCC ouput should not be converted/edited by any tool before uploading.

Also I would suggest to use CBZ format on Kobo Aura HD. If you already have CBZ files you can convert them CBZ -> e-ink optimized CBZ with KCC.

Beware!
The windows version contains a Trojan:

TR/Dropper.Gen7



It was detected with Avira free,
I hope it is a false alarm!

32bit release can be marked as false positive.
Use real AV software.

Obviously the above statement is valid only if you downloaded KCC from home page.

Yep probably a false positive by Avira,
I rescanned it with malwarebytes and it does not show any virus

I'm enjoying it a lot! Thanks for the great work!
