Calbre - Fire HD 10 - Books 1/2 size

Nicias · 03-01-2018, 09:35 PM

I just recently purchased a bunch of eBook comics from Humble Bundle, which lets you download ePUB and CBZ files. After using Calibre to convert to AZW3 for my Fire HD 10 the books open up on the device at 50% of the screen size, the rest of the screen is white. So they are too small to read, but once I zoom in I cannot turn the page. I have tried so many things to "correct" the aspect ratio [convert using "tablet" to avoid resizing, convert with the native 1920x1200 aspect ratio], but I can't get them to open fullscreen [ though I will note that the cover opens fullscreen, just none of the rest of the book].
Please help?

Dont convert the epub convert the cbz. And make sure that the source document actually has large enough pictures to fill your Fire screen, IIRC conversion in calibre does not upscale images.
