2) Leave Stretch/Upscale unchecked.
3) I personally use MozJpeg and partially check split. Not sure if it will change anything but worth trying.
Maybe try running the latest master, instructions here: https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/wi...l-from-sources
I've had zero issues running KCC on either Windows or Mac, but I only run from source to get all the latest features and bug fixes. |
So, some minor updates.
On the Mac side, I was already on the latest version of Kindle Previewer. I did move kindlegen to /usr/local/bin and tried again (deleted Kindle Previewer from the computer). It did not make any difference.
I then logged into Windows (I have a windows partition on my Mac). Downloaded KCC, and tried it in windows. Tried all various combinations of check-boxes - with and without upscale, mozjpeg. Whatever the case, the behavior remains the same in windows as well.
I did play around with settings quite a bit. At this time, I'm convinced that the 'Kindle Scribe' preset does not work as well as the 'Other' preset set to 1440x1920.
I did not try downloading the beta versions. The instructions seemed like it would take time for me to figure out, and frankly it's not needed. The Other preset works quite well. Just want to report to the community here that the 'Kindle Scribe' preset doesn't work perfectly. Better to use the 'Other' preset with the custom resolution set to 1440x1920.
That being said, I'm curious to know if the preset works perfectly for others. I have now tried 4 different manga, and tried in both Mac and Windows, and played around a lot with the settings. The 'Kindle Scribe' preset doesn't scale the pages full screen perfectly. Anyone just reading this post, see the images I attached a few posts above. You'll know what I mean.
Not sure what's the best way to inform the developers, but if someone can point this to them, it might help.
