Yes, it is true, I also acquired a Libra Color. It was given to me by my loving spouse who wanted to put an end at my hesitation whether to buy one or not. Oh well, worse things happen
Anyway, this puts me in a perfect position to check the colorfulness of the device and I did some strange discoveries after putting some seemingly perfectly formed epubs from my Libra 2 (I still will use that) on the Libra Color.
The first finding (see attachments) was that a colored "dropcap" did not showed.
The used original style found in the epub:
Code:
span.dropcap1 {
font-size: 1.75em;
font-weight: bold;
color: Red;
}
.special {
font-family: sans-serif;
}
The (abbreviated) used original text:
Code:
<p><span class="dropcap1"><span class="special">“W</span></span>hat the—”</p>
I got it to work with this change:
Code:
span.dropcap2 {
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 1.75em;
font-weight: bold;
color: Red;
}
The used changed text:
Code:
<p><span class="dropcap2">“W</span>hat the—”</p>
My second finding (see attachments) was that "links" (tag <a>) are not by default shown in "blue", which is odd.
Did anyone have similar findings?
PS: Kepub-yfing the epub by just adding ".kepub.epub" did made both text variants show in red, while "links" now are grey-ish with an underline even while the style setting did specified
text-decoration: none;.
