Book Covers
Hello,

I wanted to know if everyone is experiencing this, when i put some epub books directly in my Kobo the cover looks fine but if i put the same books in a SD card the covers have 2 white strips on the sides, is that a normal way for the kobo to say that those books are in my SD card or is there any way i can get them to show correctly?

No but do notice that sometimes my covers do not come from the kobo books or calibre. so i end up with a blank book like cover with no indication of what the book is. I have resolved this by sort of by exploding it and dumping the cover out of the epub and reconverting it with calibre adding in the cover again just be fore reconverting it. not sure why it does this.. thought it was calibre till the book from the store showed up blank


regards

I do have books like that. It is only because the aspect ratio of your cover is different from the kobo. You can try to find some other covers with calibre.

These are books directly downloaded from Kobo which should not have an aspect issue such as you suggest. But I am going to look at the cover of the book
