Adjusting Cover Size - Page 2

sassanik · 01-16-2012, 04:57 AM

I am having the same problem with the Nook covers not displaying correctly, the overflow the bounds of the screen.

It looks fine when I upload to Amazon and when I view in Calibre. If I run the file through Calibre and then edit in Sigil the cover gets the svg tag.

I am guessing there is some setting that the Nook is looking for to size the image correctly. I have set up the file with a the semantics of "cover" added to that area.

Do I need to add in specific html? I hate to mess around the css file, mostly because I am not very good at it!

Looking at the code view on one of the calibre generated epubs I see:

Code:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 600 800" width="100%">
      <image height="800" width="600" xlink:href="../Images/cover.jpeg"></image>
    </svg>

without calibre the code looks like

Code:

 <p><img alt="" src="../Images/cover.jpg" />&nbsp;</p>

so in theory something like

Code:

 <p><img alt="" src="../Images/cover.jpg" height="100%" width="100%" /></p>

should fix it?

Thats how i do it, but without width and a class named coverimg having the rules for centered, padding and margins assigned to the p-element.

Here is the proper code. Fix as needed. It keeps the cover aspect ratio correct.

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:ops="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<head>
<title>Ready Player One</title>
<link href="Clin_9780307887450_epub_css_r1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<meta content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>
</head>
<body style="margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: center;">
<div class="cover">
<img alt="" src="images/Clin_9780307887450_epub_cvi_r1.jpg" height="100%"/>
</div>
</body>
</html>

and in the CSS...

Code:

div.cover {
text-align: center
}
