Thanks for that suggestion, Rubén. Unfortunately if I do that, it will upset the same epubs also stored on my Kobos. You would think that 'font-family:serif' would be a fairly benign bit of css, but unfortunately on a Kobo it may stop me being able to change fonts at will. Nevertheless I have a glimmer of a cunning plan
I swear that trying to store a single epub in calibre which works optimally on all devices and in multiple reading apps is a real intellectual challenge

And you only can read .epub and .pdf. With PocketBook Reader you can read practically all formats (.epub, .pdf, .djvu, .fb2, .txt, .html, .chm, .cbr, .cbz, .cbt). Maybe the paid version of Mantano is better but so far, to me PocketBook is a bit better than Mantano Lite (of course, I respect your opinion to the contrary). |
Ah, yes, I guess if you only want to use one app for many formats then Mantano would be limited. My suggestion was only really aimed at epub. I just let Calibre Companion suggest which of my (
many) loaded reading apps will read the various formats. FWIW, when it comes to creating css, I tend to limit it to the kind of simple flat css calibre creates during conversion, i.e. no pseudo-thingies, no combos (p+p, h1>p etc).
Just FYI, in Mantano margins and fonts are handled by the Themes option. I only used Mantano Lite for a very short time so I can no longer remember which features are only in the Pro version. Mantano expects to find sideloaded fonts in the directory <device main mem>:/Mantano/fonts/
