Comic conversion image size

ctjayhawker · 05-12-2023, 01:47 PM

Hi, All!
I convert a fair number of comics from CBR/CBZ either to epub directly, or with an intermediate PDF for editing purposes. Regardless of the precise route, the final epub, when viewed on my tablet, always displays as a much-reduced image, occupying maybe a third to half the screen area (by percentage).I have to double-tap it to blow it up to fill the screen, which fuzzes it up slightly, and then I have to use my Back command to go BACK to the smaller image, from which I can swipe to the next page and do it all again. I've futzed with every setting that looks like it might have any effect, to no avail. Am I missing something, or is this just the way it is?

Thanks!

Use Kindle Comic Converter

tablets have dedicated comic viewing programs that can handle cbz directly with much better support, use those.

So no Calibre options, eh? I'll probably keep going the way I am, then. I'm not sideloading these, but sending them to my Amazon account and reading on my Kindle app. probably should have included that the first time around. :-\

Crazy. Install a suitable app and use USB.
Apart from the fact that Amazon does an opaque conversion it's ecological waste of energy (Internet twice and Data centre conversion and storage).

The only thing worth viewing / reading in a Kindle App is ebooks bought from Amazon, or maybe reading Kindle Unlimited Borrows.

Well, for me, part of the reason I do it the way I do it is so it's accessible from anywhere I've got signal and I'm not eating up physical storage space of my own; let Amazon do the heavy lifting on that.
