I do use Calibre converter to create epubs for Sony PRS-T1 and PRS-T2 in landscape orientation. And Sony-landscape resolution is just completely wrong for them.


So is there a way to set a custom output resolution?
It would be great for experimenting.
Conversion to the precise wanted resolution sometimes might be better than leaving it to the reader.
I need them for stand-alone ebook-convert.exe as well.

As it is now, Aura HD (1440 x 1080) and Sony PRS-T1/T2 landscape (600x800) do not have proper output profiles at all. (I don't know by how many pixels those resolutions have to be reduced - that is for experimenting)
'Tablet' is (now) just a catch all for Larger screen (resolution).

Bin that (all those) sucker if it can't deal with less than optimal images... You sure can't optomize of the shelf DRM EPUB books.
