No indenting in Kobo books?
I've bought 3 books so far from kobo.com and synced them to my kobo touch. In all 3 books, the first sentence of each paragraph is not indented, and there is a line between each paragraph.
This is annoying because the extra line means less words will fit in each “kobo page screen”. Plus I like reading with the indenting and no extra line between the paragraphs... that's how it would have been if I bought the paper book. Is this a kobo thing or is this based on the publisher? I sent an email to customer support and I got a response saying to delete the book and then add again (no idea what that would have done, but did it anyway.. no change to the indenting or line spacing). |

It's the way Kobo formats the books they sell. God knows why they told you to re-add it, other than that customer service reps are so utterly clueless.
Just side-load it to avoid the Kobo nonsense. |

Thanks for the info Canorka!
I just got an e-mail back from Kobo and they said it was because of the publisher. I actually downloaded the same book on my Kindle and it was perfect! (I had even e-mailed Gallery Books, the publisher, on it to complain before trying it on the Kindle.) |

Instead of syncing them to your Kobo try using ADE to download the ePubs and then sideload them to the Kobo. |

I sideloaded it using Adobe Digital Editions and it looks great on the Touch now. Thanks so much!
I kinda feel bad for the reply I sent to Customer Service (reply sent before I knew about side-loading it). I basically said I would never buy another ebook from kobo again and will use booksonboard instead |
