Unfortunately there is no way to add padding to a page. There is a @page rule that can be used to set the page margin, but it can't be used to add padding. The other problem is that the kepub reader totally ignores the @page rule anyway!

But here is a patch if you want to test it for yourself:

Spoiler:

Code:

<Patch>
patch_name = `Add kepub @page margin (doesn't work, kepub reader ignores @page)`
patch_enable = `yes`
#
# This patch adds the following line to the built-in kepub stylesheet:
#
#   @page{margin: 25px 25px 25px 25px!important}

I think the only solution to your problem is to add padding between the lines, i.e. increase the line spacing. (other than using the epub reader instead, which works with much smaller line spacing settings than the kepub reader).

npr · 12-17-2014, 01:53 PM

Yes I have tried this patch and yes you're right it doesn't work, but thank for trying.

My present solution is to modify the line spacing in your patch to remove the smaller spacings which cause the worst of this issue. At least it makes it easier for me to find a suitable font size / line size setting.
eg:
# 15 values for replacement
replace_float = 6C3BC0, 1.0, 0.82
replace_float = 6C3C88, 1.05, 0.83
replace_float = 6C3C90, 1.07, 0.84
replace_float = 6C3C98, 1.1, 0.85
replace_float = 6C3BC8, 1.2, 0.86
replace_float = 6C3CA0, 1.35, 0.87
replace_float = 6C3BD0, 1.5, 0.88
replace_float = 6C3CA8, 1.7, 0.89
replace_float = 6C3CB0, 1.8, 0.9
replace_float = 6C3BD8, 2.0, 0.92
replace_float = 6C3CB8, 2.2, 0.94
replace_float = 6C3CC0, 2.4, 0.97
replace_float = 6C3CC8, 2.6, 1.0
replace_float = 6C3CD0, 2.8, 1.05
replace_float = 6C3BE0, 3.0, 1.1

That's to bad. Other then that it's working great. But I need my small linespacing to be happy.

Might something like this work?

* {
box-sizing: border-box;

it seems that this kind of setting like body>p can't cover all sideloads kepub. I tested, some books work well and some not.

Have you ever tried/considered porting this to the Kobo so the device would patch itself after placing patch files in the USB storage?

Is increasing the padding from 0.1em to 0.2em enough to fix it? Sone fonts will need more padding than others.

That's an interesting idea, it would have the advantage of avoiding any possibility of using the wrong firmware version to make the patch. I haven't thought about what would be needed to make it work though.

On the Mac it is important to run the script from the command line, so you need to open a terminal, change to the patch_kobo_3120 directory, and run ./3.12.0.sh

If you post the output from running the script, we can see where the error is occuring.

(On my Linux system (Debian with Gnome desktop), double-clicking on 3.12.0.sh works, but it might not work on all Linux systems.)

I'm afraid not. Because "body>p" and "body>div"only have effect on the first class p and div under body. However, in some books, the main text is in the second or more deeper class and it will not be modified with the patch.

Code:

<body>
            <div>
              <p>text</p>
            </div>
          </body>

That is the purpose of the body>div selector: the padding gets added to the outer <div>, so it doesn't need to be added again to the inner elements.

With synced kepubs the padding only ever gets added to an outer <div>, never to <p> or any other inner elements. With the sideloaded kepubs there is not always an outer <div>, so the body>p selector ensures it gets added to the <p> in that case.

With the earlier versions of the patch, the padding got applied both to the outer <div> and to the inner <p>, so there would be twice as much padding (or more, depending on how many outer <div> layers), which is why I think increasing the amount of padding in the latest version of the patch might be needed to get as much padding as was in the earlier versions.

You are right. I increase paddings to 0.2em and it works very well. Thanks!

I wonder if "body>*" would work. "body>div, body>p" misses h1...h6 and blockquote at least.

I don't use kepub, sideloaded or not, so my interest is purely academical

Can you try changing to the patch_kobo_3120 directory and run the script from there, i.e.

cd /Users/vlad/Desktop/patch_kobo_3120
./3.12.0.sh
