Azw3 to pdf: increase font size

bcbob · 08-01-2016, 02:59 PM

I am trying to set the font size when I convert one of my Azw3 books to pdf for my Sony DPT-S1, which is a large size screen reader that allows writing on documents. However, it only reads pdf's.

I am using Calibre 2.54 on Windows 7 and I cannot figure out how to set the output font size in the dialog box for the Azw3 to Pdf convert. Under "Look & Feel|Fonts" there are a bunch of options but none seem to do the trick.

So far I tried setting the "Base font size" to 12.0 with the "Disable font size rescaling" box cleared, i.e. no check mark, but that does not seem to change anything.

Any suggestions?

First you have to make sure the PDF page size is correct for your reader, in the PDF Output section of the conversion dialog. After that, then follow the instructions here: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/con...size-rescaling

For reference, these were the settings that suited my eyesight:

Base Font Size: 15.0pt
FontSizeKey: 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 12.0, 13.5, 17.0, 20.0, 22.0, 24.0

PageSetup:
OutputProfile: Generic e-ink HD
InputProfile: DefaultInputProfile
