Full-screen spanned covers using CW and kobo sync
Question: How do I send full (spanned) lockscreen covers, when using Calibre-web and kobo sync (not Calibre)?
I know this can be accomplished in Calibre; however, I use Calibre-Web with the Kobo sync API so my full library shows up as 'native' on the device. Books can be grabbed by tapping download on them right from the device. In this case, I can't easily sync or send metadata as you would normally do with say a USB connection to Calibre. All of that to say, I haven't found a way to get full-screen/spanned covers using this method, but very much love the idea of having my library 'there' on the device. In case I'm not clear, I mean the black vertical bars still appear due to cover aspect ratio. Does anyone have any tips/suggestions? |

Solution/Work-around
* In Calibre - Use resize cover or any plugin that allows you to set the cover size to 1264 x 1680 * Plug in the device - remove all the images from the .kobo-images folder, safely eject * Re-sync the device - it should pull the new cover images. |
