Kindle and Nook to Kobo Glo HD
Hey guys, so I've bought books from both Nook and Kindle to identical results. I add them to my Calibre library with the Alf Apprentice plugin installed. Now with the Nook format epubs I don't have to worry about conversion, with the Kindle format I do. Basically after it's been added to my library I copy the files to a folder called "Books" on my Kobo alternatively with Kindle I convert to epub and do the same. Both give me an identical document, in which the font size is atrociously large. The page numbers usually last for two page turns. I understand why the page has been divided into two parts because of the large font size. I've played with the font settings and algorithms when converting the Kindle documents.
What am I missing, is there a way to get these documents working like a normal Kobo book? Ideally I would like to lower the font size without having to adjust the settings on my Kobo and maybe have the progress tracked as well as having it count the number of pages left in the chapter instead of the book. Eventually I'd like to tidy up the layout etc. Is there an update I don't have? A general tool? A plugin? Is there a better program that simplifies all of this? Or will I just need to experiment with the available settings?
