This option is for the masses that don't want to get their hands dirty editing their books. It won't work perfectly, but it should be better than what they have. The biggest problem from my point of view is explaining why it didn't do what they wanted. And a problem with this is that it will probably work better with well crafted books than the rubbish we usually see. The better the code, the easier it is to fix and hence a couple of styles overriding them like this will probably tweak things how people want. The worse the code and the less likely that will happen. |

I should have known that as soon as I said something like that, someone would have an example But it makes sense as if the input book had multiple body classes, calibre would generate a new class for each with any changes from the options.

I doubt that my friend cares about drop caps. He only gets 4-5 words per line at the minimum font-size he can read and he would like it larger. Tablet hurts his eyes. Now I am more confused but probably the heat. Thanks Helen |

Driver update - Support for FW 2.9.0, cover image changes
In calibre 1.4.0, the KoboTouch driver has been updated to 2.1.3.
This update is to support firmware 2.9.0 on the new Kobo Aura. The only function change is to support the new cover images handling. Kobo has changed the way the cover images are stored. Instead of one directory for all cover images, they are stored in a tree. This will allow covers to be stored for more books than previous firmware. The driver changes will handle cover images as appropriate for the different firmware versions. |

If you prefer something smaller, each of the Profiles shows what screen dimensions are assumed, so just pick the one which suits you best. |

Driver update - Fix WiFi id, numeric shelves and sending kepub
With the next calibre release, the Kobo and KoboTouch drivers have been updated to version 2.1.6. This has three changes.
Kobo recently released new firmware for the WiFi. This changed the device id. The new device id has been added to the list of supported ids. With the Kepub Output Plugin allowing conversion of other formats to kepub, this has been added as a supported format. This means that kepubs that are in the calibre library can be sent to the device without the extended driver. To use this, you will need to select "kepub" in the list of supported formats in the device configuration. None of the other features of the extended driver have been added to the KoboTouch driver. A bug was found if a numeric column was used as a shelf column. This was discovered by someone wanting to create a shelf for the ratings in the calibre library. This has been fixed and other column types should also be work. Note: If a non-text column is used, the value will be converted to text. In general, this should be the same as displayed by calibre. But, for the rating column, the shelf name will be "1.0", "2.0", etc. |

Driver update - Firmware 3.1.0 and added sending kepub to KOBO driver
There are two updates in this weeks calibre release.
Firstly, the supported firmware has been updated to 3.1.0. There were no other changes needed. The other change is to put the support for sending kepubs to Kobo ereaders into the KOBO driver. This will allow people using the original Kobo and the Kobo WiFI to sideload kepubs. The kepubs can be produced using the KePub Output Plugin. Thanks to Greenmantle for testing that sideloaded kepubs did work on these ereaders. |

Driver update - Extra cover type
Calibre 1.15 has one update to the driver. This is to add an extra cover image type when sending covers with books. This is the "AndroidBookLoadTablet_Aspect" version and is used on the details page.
If you want to get this version of the cover onto the device without resending the books, I suggest you use my utilities plugin. Its cover upload will can replace the covers of any book in your library. |

Driver update - Fix fetching annotations for kepubs
In calibre 1.37.0, the KoboTouch driver has been updated to 2.1.7.
The only change is a fix to the "Fetch annotations" function. Due to changes in the way the kepubs information is stored in the database, not all the annotations were fetched. |

@beedaddy: If that is all you put in, it shouldn't have changed the heading. First thing to check is the justification settings on the reader. If it has been changed to left rather than none, it could do what you are seeing.
If that isn't it, I need to see the book. Or a sample of it. If it is somewhere I can freely download it from, or it is in the public domain, can you give me a link to it. If not, send me a PM with a link or ask me for an email address to send it to. I can look at it and see what is happening. |

@davidfor: Yes, I didn't put in anything else. If I don't use the css modification, the chapter picture stays centered no matter which justification option is selected. And there's still this "[home]" text...
I'll do some more tests to see if it happens with other, perhaps free, ebooks. I'll let you know. Thanks a lot! |
