Standard Page Setting for Comics

Hi, i have a PocketBook Lite that i use for ePUBs, pdfs and CBZ/R

Does anybody know an option to set the standard page setting for pdfs/CBX to single page, so not continuos or flow?

Maybe there is some config file to change?

Kind regards to everyone.

Sry for my late reply, i didn't get an email notification for your post.

Yes, this works, but you have to do it every time, every new chapter/book/file, which i find tedious to do after the first 100 or so files i've opened. Therefore the ability to change the standard behaviour would be desirable in my opinion.

My workaround now has been to convert the cbz to epub (also has the advantages of combining chapters into books with bookmark and TOC), and changing the file system/margin.cfg. That file contains the page margins for the standard epub-reader on the PB970.

I've changed the "none" margins setting to 0% on all sides, and gave the "normal" settings the values of the "none" settings, etc. omitting the original "large" margin settings in the end. This ensures, that the pictures don't have any unnecessary white border around them, when viewed as epubs, which would be the standard behaviour.

For ease of use, i will attach the contents of my margin.cfg . Make sure to make a backup of your original first, before applying this. Also note that this file only specifically applies to the Inkpad lite, as i have no other device to verify if it works.

Just the easiest for users would be if PocketBook would enhance their cbz reader, to adjust default settings, and maybe implement some form of meta-data so that one could apply TOC and authors etc to cbX files. I know that there doesn't seem to be a industry wide standard for this, but there seem to be some ideas how to incorporate this, and i think calibre does this, so that conversion to epub wouldn't be necessary.
It's no problem in the sense of file size or smth, jpgs are already compressed to the limit, it's just another hassle for the end user.

Code:
none-left=0%
none-right=0%
none-top=0%
none-bottom=0%
none-left-pager=0%
none-right-pager=0%
none-top-pager=0%
