I'm one of the people who prefer that. It means I know exactly how long a book is, no matter the font size, margins, line spacing etc.
As for the unify font size patch, there's no way to get it pixel perfect. My goal was to get it as close as possible, but the multipliers/divisors I have to work with can only be set in 0.25 increments. Also, as NiLuJe said, kebup and epubs use completely different font renderers.

Thank you for the information about the calculations. Also, that is a good point regarding the RMSDK page numbering which I hadn't thought of. I've been using RMSDK exclusively on my Kobo for 8 years now, so I'm used to it, but always notice the irregularity w.r.t. page turns. I wonder if I should continue to ignore it and use ePubs in the future...
Speaking of RMSDK and not noticing things: does it hyphenate by default? I can't say that I remember encountering hyphenations, or they've been rare enough that they don't stand out (compared to the kobo hyphenations with the default dictionary, which feel overly aggressive).

Until recently, it was quite common for commercial epubs to contain RMSDK specific .xpgt stylesheets, which usually contained margin settings. Most other software - including Calibre - does not read these stylesheets. But Kobo ereaders do.

Interesting curiosity, but what is the implication?

There doesn't appear to be any interest in doing something similar in the official KoboTouchExtended plugin. |
I'd be interested in trying your algorithm out. Is it implemented in kepubify as an option? Or a fork of KotoTouchExtended on github somewhere?
