Another copy&paste leftover.

Nevertheless, what's your bet on this code?

The solution is the "horrible" 99% hack.

When I played with some epub to kepub conversion, I found that to fit to screen, you need the svg wrapper. The <div> tag around the svg are there to make it compliant and keep FlightCrew and epubcheck from whimpering. When I converted a couple of books from epub to .kepub.epub, the cover display seems to look okay though I did not have a test case with an image larger than the Aura HD's display resolution.

Code:

<style type="text/css">
@page {padding: 0pt; margin:0pt}
            body { text-align: center; padding:0pt; margin: 0pt; }
</style>
</head>

<body>
  <div>
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 900 1200" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><image height="1200" width="900" xlink:href="../Images/cover.jpeg"></image>
    </svg>
  </div>

Regards,
David

Hi David, please, could you test with my attached image?

I mean, sometimes I get the two pages split and sometimes not and I haven't found any reasonable trigger for each behaviour.

arspr: I can't reproduce the problem you are seeing. As you probably have a kepub with this cover in it that demonstrate the problem, could you post it? Then we can test it and see how it is different to what we created.

As this is a real book I prefer not publicly posting it. I've zipped it with password (original epub and the kepub downloaded from the Aura HD), and I've pmed you that password.

If anyone else wants to test, do not hesitate about asking me the password. Of course I do allow any of you to also spread the password. Please just do not make it very public.

Although I am REALLY angry with the publisher. You cannot imagine the amount of typos and OCR errors I've fixed in it. A complete shame. But nevertheless I prefer being "polite" with them even if they do not deserve any kind of politeness...
