Font size/Page Size
Some of the books I have loaded from my Calibre library have very small font size that I have trouble reading.

I would like to increase the size of the page display not just the font. When I increase the font, the bottom part of the page is cut off thus I can not read the book.

Is there a way to "stretch the page out to fit just inside the Kobo display?

THx

What format are you using? It sounds like a pdf and you should be able to scroll down to see the bottom part of the page. PDF isn't a great format for e-ink readers. If you can convert it to an epub you'll be happier.

Yes, it is a PDF.

If I convert it to ePub will I have more luck getting it to fill the page nicely?

Thx

No. All you'll have is a lot of errors and the more complex, the more of a mess you'll have.

Converting to ePub will probably give you a better experience. But, PDF isn't a good format to start from and there can be problems getting a clean conversion. PDF doesn't mark up the paragraph starts or heading like epub, so detecting these can be hard. It can be done, an some are easy to do, but if you can source another format, I would suggest doing that.
