Calibre Epub Author Photo Sizing

RICHARD_PARIS · 04-02-2020, 02:55 PM

Hello,

I have converted my docx file to Epub and run the Epub check.

All seems to be fine and looks good with one problem.

My Author page has a 3"h x2.75"w 150 ppi photo with 8 lines of 12pt single spaced copy below - Style Normal.

The Calibre viewer shows the page as it should be.

However, when I view it on Kindle Previewer3 the Photo takes up more than half the page and the copy breaks after the first paragraph and is moved to the next page.

I have checked the Word doc and all the paragraph breaks look ok and nothing else seems to be wrong.

Suggestions please?

Make your photo smaller remember the kindle is only 6".

In your css you can use:

Quote:

.imageauthor {
height: auto;
max-height: 50%;
max-width: 50%;
width: auto;
}

Edit:

just measured my nook which is 6" the screen is 3 5/8" wide by 4 7/8" height.

Thanks,

I reduced the photo height to 2" and it now all fits.
