Best Calibre Settings for Kobo Wifi?
I was just given an older Kobo Wifi (The one with the 'd-pad') and im wondering what the best settings are. Been reading/searching around a bit and its all quite confusing.

Tried a couple epubs and they work ok. The covers have white spaces on either side and there are larger spaces then id like between the lines of text. These spaces are not present when viewing in calibre or any other epub reader.

Any help would be great!

Thanks

I have a Kobo Wifi (love that reader) and use Calibre. In mine there is a generic older Kobo preset that I use.

Under "convert books", go to "page setup". Select "Kobo Reader" (the generic one) as your output profile. Press "ok".

White spaces around the cover suggests that the covers do not match the 3x4 ratio of the screen. Not much to be done about that without distorting the image.

The spaces between the lines can be due to the ebook's CSS. For ebooks without DRM, you can either manually edit or use Calibre to edit the CSS. My personal preference is manually editing with Sigil so someone else will have to fill in the details for using Calibre.

Regards,
David

I believe that all the profile does is to change how images are resized / resampled; no more, no less.
