When viewing an ePub book using the built-in viewer, I noticed that the characters on the right side are clipped. See the attached image. This happens for both Mobi and ePub formats.
Searching the forum for questions about the right margin, I found
this post by HarryT which explains how to set a larger right margin in the output profile.
So, I followed the directions and the ePub appears to have the correct values in its CSS:
Code:
.calibre {
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1.2;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
text-align: justify;
margin: 0 15pt 0 5pt
}
But the output display is exactly the same as when the right margin was set to 5pt. I tried making the font larger and smaller in the viewer, and this effect goes away at the smallest font size -- but that font is too small to read. And, since the output display is exactly the same regardless of the right margin value in the CSS, it appears that the viewer is ignoring the style directions in the ePub.
Environment is Windows 7 Professional, Calibre 1.42 Portable. I started with an ePub downloaded from Baen. (Interestingly, it had six style sheets each with a name containing "calibre".) I created a new ePub using the larger right margin value given by HarryT. Also created a Mobi file with the same output values.
I couldn't identify which subforum, if any, should be used. If this post is in the wrong place, please pardon me.
