Is there any epub editor that will work with a DRM'd epub or will I have to strip off the drm so I can edit it in to a sensable format. (which means Im still out the 5.99 because Ive havent been successful with any of the drm removal progams because there instructions are clear as mud  )? Any ideas?  |
It sounds like S&S used either small or x-small for the base font size. A lot of ePub do that. Next issue is margins. Some ePub have huge margins defined using em. When you increase the font size, the margins increase as well. If you want margins, define them with px. Then they will stay the same without changing as the font size changes. Also, when you edit the CSS to fix the font size, remove the small/x-small lines so you can start with whatever the default text size it.
