I've attached a test epub you can play with if you want. It contains a cover full of smooth colour graduations. The screensaver (sent as B&W, keep aspect ratio by calibre) on a GloHD is full of banding. The same book has a very smooth screensaver on a KA1. On an H2O it's not quite as smooth as the KA1 but it's still very good. The ClaraHD is very slightly better than the GloHD but still full of banding. I transferred them all as kepub. When viewing the cover as page 1 of the kepub, rather than as a screensaver, the GloHD is much smoother, but still not as good as the KA1. The ClaraHD is smoother than the GloHD but not as good as the KA1. |

Yeah, it's a good book, but that creepy cover stayed with me for years (which I guess makes it an effective cover).

Lately I've been finding that even with "keep cover aspect ratio" unchecked, Calibre still isn't stretching the book covers to take up the whole screen. There's white space left on the top and bottom. Does anybody have an idea why?

That doesn't seem to work for me on either the GloHD or the ClaraHD.

I'd be interested in anything you discover but I don't recall anyone else ever raising this issue, so I have to assume most people don't really care. Just FYI, another observation on the ClaraHD, but not the GloHD, is that tapping on the page 1 kepub cover, which is originally fairly smooth, displays bad banding. Page forward/backward brings back the smoother image again. It's not a big deal - just odd. |

I've been out of the loop, so apologies if this has been asked before. But Kobo touch extended has been removed from my plugins, and cover images of newly added books are not being stretched anymore on the sleep screen. Is there a new solution for this? Thanks a lot.
UPDATE: nevermind, I see that I have to go into the KoboTouch driver settings now. My post can be removed mods. Last edited by tourneur; 04-21-2025 at 03:49 AM. |
