Kobo Aura One: Choosing an output profile on Calibre

greenapple · 11-02-2016, 03:06 AM

I'm new to Kobo Aura One. When I try to convert a file for use on my Kobo Aura One with Calibre, I find that there isn't a profile specifically for Kobo Aura One. Could anyone tell me what's the next best profile that I should use? Thanks.

I haven't changed my output format since I got my paperwhite a few years ago, and everything still looks great on my Glo HD and Aura One. I should probably look into that. On a side-note, you should install the Kobo Touch Extended plugin. Save the books in your Calibre library as epubs. When you use Calibre to send them to your reader, they will be automatically converted to kepub (Kobo epub) during the transfer.

Use the Tablet profile, it won't fix any problems in the book but it won't cause any extra problems to be added. The Kobo Reader profile is only for ancient Kobos that had very low resolution screens, and will result in images being scaled down during conversion.

Thanks, Sir Loyne and GeoffR, for your suggestions. For the moment, I'd use the tablet profile, but will try out the plugin method over the weekend.

Again, thanks.
