[Old Thread] Epub cover image does not display correctly - Page 3

transmitthis · 06-20-2011, 11:50 AM

So what your saying is, if I want the reader app, to not scale and distort the cover when reading a book on the PC, I would have to convert all my epubs mobi and lit files, to Epub and then it would only keep its aspect ratio.

Not something I would want to do, and just tried it, and as the cover still scales, it still distorts, unless you have a cover as large as the size you scale the app to.

I just wanted reader app to leave the cover alone, (at its inherent aspect ration and pixel size) but I see, as I don't understand how that app works, its not something that can be accomplished.
Thanks for the help anyway, and as I said its no big thing - its just annoying and aesthetically unpleasing, even though it just a few seconds at the start of a book.
