I came and joined this forum to answer precisely this question. How to make the titles on the PDN generic cover readable. They're not, period. This is not a compromise, it is not a feature, it is a bug I'd like to fix.
Don't get me wrong, I'm astounded by this program, love, love, love it. Simply blown away by all the work and the continued updates making this thing better and better daily.
The problem is the default picture takes up too much real estate when the generic book cover is scaled down to icon size in the Pandigital Novel. Unreadable. Can't tell which subscription is which (but I can read the creator, "Calibre," on book spine of the generated picture clear as day). It's frustrating when a recipe publisher doesn't provide their own cover.
You can see the difference, for example, in the cover generator of The Economist - which you can identify at a glance - and USA Today, which is simply a blur when scaled down.
Is it possible to embed the title on/in the jpg itself or reduce the picture so the font can scale up? My only other option is to manually remove the cover jpg's after I import them to the device which defaults to the file name as title - which I can at least read.
It really is only a question of about a 2 point font size increase, but it makes all the difference - just doesn't look attractive with my workaround.
