Kobo resolution in Conversion settings

hans_g · 12-25-2013, 07:06 AM

Hi!
I have one question: in the conversion settings of calibre the "kobo reader" resolution is said to be 536x710. I know, that this is not meant to be the overall screen resolution - which in my Kobo Glo is 758x1024 - but it should be larger than 536x710!
Are these the settings of former Kobo models? Is it to pssible to change the setting? What would be a solution working best for the Glo?
Thanx and best regards,
Hans

Yes, those are the settings for the older Kobo devices. I recommend using the "Tablet" profile. This does not resize the images and allows the ereader to handle the resizing. The Kobo firmware does a good job of this. It also means you don't need to reconvert from the original source if you get a higher resolution ereader.
