So it's a Calibre thing? Then I'll report a bug.

I had reported a bug earlier today and already received a answer - it will be corrected in next release.

add/delete cover code - I have been helped but the Kobo adroid app feedback guys re an issue with this feature gnereated an unwanted blank page when the book is sideloaded & opened in the Kobo app:
i.e. any book that goes thru add/delete cover & is then imported to kobo IOS or android app shows as having 2 title page pages - one with the cover image , and one blank page. the "fix" is to change height from 100% to 98% in the SVG tag. I've asked if KObo will add a post here backing me up as it's their work that has uncovered this fix. could it, without detriment to other devices, be adopted within a future plug in version please Code:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 299 500" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <image height="500" width="299" xlink:href="../Images/cover.jpeg"></image> </svg> Code:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="98%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 299 500" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <image height="500" width="299" xlink:href="../Images/cover.jpeg"></image> </svg> |

The blank page is probably coming from a surrounding <p> element's normal margin, not the SVG code itself; you're shrinking the cover enough that the skipped line after it fits on the same page. That's why I use this cover-page code instead; it has no such problems, because there's no top/bottom margin at all:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US"> <head> <title>Cover</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> <style type="text/css"> @page { margin: 0; padding: 0; } body, div { margin: 0; padding: 0; } body { background-color: #000000; color: #ffffff; } div { text-align: center; page-break-after: always; } img { height: 100%; max-width: 100%; } </style> </head> <body><div> <img alt="Cover" title="Cover" src="cover image"/> </div></body> </html> |

i appreciate that there are other valid coding solutions, but I'm wanting to suggest that the plug-in code is changed so that it just works, for books on tablets, without the need for manual redoing of each book.
I have not as yet looked at how sigil / calibre editor process an insert image action, so see if they do it in the same way as this plug in does. anyway, it has nothing to do with a surrounding <p> tag as there isn't one. look at the entirety of a titlepage as generated by the insert or replace cover action: Code:
<head> <meta content="true" name="calibre:cover" /> <title>Cover</title> <style type="text/css"> @page {padding: 0pt; margin:0pt} body { text-align: center; padding:0pt; margin: 0pt; } </style> </head> <body> <div> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 299 500" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <image height="500" width="299" xlink:href="../Images/cover.jpeg"></image> </svg> </div> </body> </html> I am pretty sure that insert or replace cover writes all the above code, and discards whatever was there before Last edited by cybmole; 05-22-2014 at 01:35 PM. |

here's what kobo android feedback/ support said to me: I just ran my epub on iOS, saw the same issue, so it's not just an Android issue. I think I know what is happening though, and it is indeed due to the css being added for the cover page by the modify epub plugin. It looks as though the image size specified in the css is bigger than what would be displayed on a single page, so it's causing a blank page to be inserted. I also believe I've found a solution, or at least it works for me on iOS, so could be worth you giving it a try. ... then the change 100% to 98% suggestion |

I seriously doubt that a representative from Kobo will make ANY post here suggesting a fix to the issue.

It's not a general Android issue. The Mantano, UBReader, Pocketbook reading apps (to name but 3) work fine with SVG covers coded in the 'standard calibre' way, so it seems to be Kobo-specific.
If I'm not mistaken, for many of its options Modify Epub just calls existing main calibre methods to do its work, so I wouldn't think it likely main calibre would be changed to accommodate the Android Kobo app. My eink Kobos also appear to cope well with 100% SVG settings, at least in standard epubs, don't know about kepubs. |

>peter T: kobo don't need to show now,a s posted their suggestiogn anyway. FOr all was know they are alaready lkunking/postign under screen names- maybe you are one of them
>Jackie- yes I guessed Kobo would be the odd one out & thus insufficient case for changing calibre code. It's no great hardship to have to flick past one blank page & I was more interested in why it happened than in how to prevent it in future. Maybe they will tweak their apps one day. At least I've learnt how to contact their App support and that they do respond. |

yep, Google is my friend, again. but the VG is for Vector Graphics & cover images are .jpg files - no vectors in there ? so is the svg still superior to the img tag? Last edited by cybmole; 05-23-2014 at 02:01 AM. |

Not that I have anything against SVG, but normally I just don't see the need for it and believe that avoiding it lowers the odds of implementation problems. As always, YMMV. |
