Problem enlarging pages and fonts

MemoryPalace · 05-01-2020, 10:40 AM

I bought all my grandkids a Kobo Clara HD ereader. I used a memory stick to transfer my books to the ereaders. BUT, the kids are not able to make the graphic novels or the book pages get large enough to fill the screen, the pages are small and stuck in a corner of the ereader. What's going on here? Help badly needed.

They can change the fonts of the books that came with the Kobo but not the stuff I have added with the memory stick from my own library.

What format are the books you transferred to the Kobo? What were you reading them on? If they are graphics novels, each page is likely a graphic and there is no way to change the font size. Much the same for PDF files though there the problem is generally that the PDF page size is letter/A4 and way to big to fit on the screen.

The next question is how did you use a memory stick to transfer the files? AFAIK, the USB port on the Clara HD does not support external drives.

Actually I solved the problem with a re-sizer, https://docupub.com/pdfresize/
I sent my daughter a thumbdrive which she opened on her laptop and then she attached the kobo to the laptop and transferred the files.

Shudder... PDF is not a good format for ereaders. OTOH, better than not having an ebook to read.
