My base format in my library is EPUB, and have been converting (without any problems) to MOBI and later AZW3 in the past, as I've owned two Kindles.
I've got a KA1 since yesterday, and have been trying various things to get as much usable screen space as possible, without losing functionality. It looked like I would be using KEPUB.
1. I have added the full screen reading option:
Quote:
[FeatureSettings]
FullScreenReading=true
|
2. I installed the Kobo Touch Extended driver plugin, the KEPUB metadata plugins, and the KEPUB output plugin in Calibre.
3. I've converted some books to KEPUB, and uploaded them to the reader.
Now I've found out that the old letter cut-off bug still exists in the full screen mode, and no amount of tinkering with CSS can fix it (and I've tried a lot of stuff I found around the internet.)
In the end, I removed the KEPUB conversions and decided to see what EPUB would bring. In the Kobo Touch Extended driver, I unticked every format, except EPUB. In the "Extended" tab, the only option that is ticked is Enable Extended Kobo Features.
When I now upload a book to the KA1 (without first converting it to KEPUB with the output plugin), it displays perfectly in full screen mode; no letters are cut off. However, when I display the header and footer, I see the ones as displayed by the KEPUB reader, not the EPUB one which only has a footer, AFAIK. Also, the reading progression functions such as Time To Read seem to be working, which I was led to believe to only work with KEPUB.
The files on the reader are "filename.kepub.epub".
So, what is on my reader now?
Is it an EPUB, displayed by the KEPUB reader, because of the ".kepub.epub" extension?
Is it a KEPUB, created by the Kobo Touch Extended driver? I've read the driver can convert files on the fly before uploading them. If it does, it must be doing something different to the KEPUB output plugin, because the file as uploaded by the driver displays fine, while the file created by the KEPUB output plugin has the last letter on each line cut off.
Is it a ShmEPUB... an EPUB or KEPUB that is fixed or has other non-standard things done to it by the driver such as the injection of some CSS, to display correctly in full screen mode?
Thanks in advance
