That thread looks really interesting, and I'd really like to go better spacing, hyphenation and images rendering in my books.
But I'm afraid reading all this will make me see things I don't see now and will never be able to unsee. |

Personally, I prefer screens to print equivalent page numbers or percentage. That's if the count is somewhat close to exact and adjusts to changes in font size, line spacing, margins, etc. If I'm reading an ebook it has screens, not pages. But that's me, not anybody else. Another thing I like is total word count. It can be misleading, particularly in a non-fiction book with lots of notes or any book with lengthy forewards or afterwards, but it's a nice thing to have a sense of.
On a different rendering engine note, I noticed that on my just arrived Libra H2O, an epub of a particular book ignores my line spacing wishes on the device. But if I convert it to a kepub.epub, the line spacing I'm looking for is honored. I checked and see that the css for this book has line-height set in all the p classes. So the epub rendering engine appears not to overrule the css in that case, where the kepub engine does. Can anyone confirm this? Last edited by mirage; 06-18-2020 at 06:19 PM. |

The kepub one is more aggressive in general than the epub one. Specifically for line-height: epub: body {line-height: %1 !important;} There are also epub/kepub differences for overriding font-family and text-align (more info available if you want it).kepub: body, p { line-height: %1 !important; } If these differences are going to cause you a problem (and you want to go down this track) there are various kobopatches available to tweak the overrides to your preferences.
