Problems converting any Cbr Cbz or comic or manga in general

Tehferret · 12-17-2021, 11:22 AM

Everything thats a Comic book or manga I convert I end up with a big empty border at the bottom and its every single one across 3 different devices (kindle 2019, Kindle keyboard, and Nook Color) but one it clips a sliver of the bottom off (nook simple touch)

Spoiler:

There is no way to display images filling the full screen without distorting them. The border you see are necessary to preserve the image's aspect ratio, i.e. not distort it.

I don't suppose there is an override option is there?

Why would we want distorted images??
(A circle becomes an Oval. That is the tamest example of distortion)

I just wanted to see if it helped or made it worse.

You might want to look at Kindle Comic Converter. It generates books from CBZ or CBR that are optimised a bit for the devices.
