Yabbut, the problem is, as far as I know--and hopefully, I would (famous last words)--you can't upload that ePUB to KDP and get a working result. Unless/until the coding is wildly different than what I expect, the way that FXL ePUB is coded, when set up "automagically" is almost always for a given tablet screen size, resolution, pixel density--and it's almost ubiquitously NOT set for Kindles. Now, KCC is a piece of private software, so...dunno. What tablet size/screen size, etc. is that set to work with, do you know?
Yeah, sorry to hear that. It must be very frustrating.

You can customize KCC to various screen sizes, really what that does is it just resizes the images to be a better resolution fit for the device so it doesn't have to resize them on the fly. This is only really a problem for really high res images on old devices IME. I think ePub manga/graphic novel is not quite the same as FXL story book stuff and doesn't care as much for a given resolution. The code is very simple and it's literally just showing 1 full screen image a page. Here's an example of a typical "page":
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops"><head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=800, height=1200"/>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../Styles/style0001.css" type="text/css"/>
</head><body>
<div class="page">
<img src="../Images/image00040.jpeg" alt="" width="800" height="1200"/>
</div>
</body></html>
In case you're wondering this all the stylesheet is doing:
Code:
body {
width: 800px;
height: 1200px;
margin: 0;
}
img {
margin: 0;
z-index: 0;
}
Simple! This is from a Kindle unpack'd ePub. Kobo epubs are basically the same.
The viewport doesn't have to be specific to the device resolution at all and I've read the same book on devices with varying resolutions.
