Notes
The `ePub fixed top/bottom margin` and `ePub ajustable top/bottom margin` patches have been combined into a single `ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom margins` patch.
Working around problems with reading kepubs in full-screen mode:
To enable the full-screen reading option, add the following to the device's configuration file
./kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf using a unix-aware text editor (don't use Windows' Notepad or Wordpad, use an editor such as Notepad++ instead.)
Code:
[FeatureSettings]
FullScreenReading=true
Then it is possible to switch between normal and full-screen mode by ticking the "Show header and footer" box in the Reading Settings menu.
Full-screen mode works well with epubs, but there are two problems that affect kepubs:
1. If the book's stylesheet has non-zero margin or padding on the body element, then the text can be shifted to the right resulting in text being cut off at the right hand side.
For sideloaded kepubs this should be able to be fixed by adding the following to the book's stylesheet, or to kobo_extra.css if that option is enabled in Calibre:
Code:
body { margin: 0 0 0 0 !important; padding: 0 0 0 0 !important; }
For kepubs synced from Kobo, the
`KePub zero body margin/padding` patch (see
post #27) can be used to modify the device's built-in KePub stylesheet instead.
2. For some fonts, characters with a large side-bearing value (such as Georgia f, J, etc.) get cut off if they appear at the end of a line.
For sideloaded kepubs created by recent versions of Calibre's KoboTouchExtended driver, this can be fixed by adding the following to the book's stylesheet or to kobo_extra.css:
Code:
div#book-columns { padding: 0.2em !important; }
For kepubs synced from Kobo or created with older versions of the KoboTouchExtended driver, the
`Fix kepub side bearing font cut-off bug` patch can be used to add the appropriate padding to the device's built-in stylesheet instead.
