Hi all, and thanks for such an informative thread! It has got me over many problems however I've one remaining.

I'm having no problems creating a cbz file and converting, but I'd like to disable the rotation of my (landscape) images without disabling the processing altogether.

The reason is they are photos of a book and the PRS350 has a 'view mode' which allows you to flick through the four quadrants of each page in turn. This is perfect for me as it makes the text big enough. However Calibre insists on rotating the images to portrait, which means the book appears upside-down on the device and the pages appear out of order.

I've tried fixing the resolution but Calibre still rotates the image. I'm keeping Landscape ticked as portrait images are fiddly to zoom (5 'clicks' per quarter of a page switching in and out of zoom mode). Wide is not ticked as that seems to imply rotation. I've tried ticking and clearing 'keep aspect ratio' but the image is always rotated - if ticked the rotated image is surrounded with white.

Is there any way to disable the rotation without disabling the processing altogether please?

Still coming to terms with how much Calibre has got under the bonnet!

Thanks hugely for the app and for reading
Chris

PS. I realize a workaround would be to create the epub as standard, unzip, batch un-rotate and re-zip.
