Converted epub pages to small
I succeded in converting an Amazon Kindle book to epub. But when I open it in my Kobo Clara reader the text is really small. But it looks like it's the actual page is small within the Kobo page. The text is aligned but placed more up in towards the left corner. And enlarging the letters didn't make them bigger. Only the page number went bigger.
Does anyone know what is wrong and how I can adapt the book's page to the Kobo's page size? So the text become placed on the whole epub page. |

Without more evidence, it sounds like the source is a fixed layout eBook.
Can you at least post the CSS from the ePub so we can see what's there? |

Thanks for the information.
I'm not that good at the internal things. How do you get the css data from the epub? EDIT: okej, I did some exploring. If I unzip it I get two css files. Should I post them here? Last edited by marp68; 05-09-2021 at 03:32 PM. |

Don't know exactly how to do that. This is the text inside the files.
I opened them, but there were not much in them. page_style.css @page { margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt } stylesheet.css .calibre { display: block; font-size: 1em; padding-left: 0; padding-right: 0; margin: 0 5pt } .calibre1 { display: block } .calibre2 { height: auto; width: auto } I could add the book as well, if it helps. Both the converted epub and the original azw3 file. |

Don't do that if they are under copyright protection.
It appears that there is probably a lot of inline styling... *shudder* |

And these are the files I have in Calibre. The imported azw3 file, the converted epub file, metadata and cover.

I downloaded this eBook and it's a low-res graphic image for each page. Since you are in touch with the author, you really should tell the author to redo it properly. This is not how you make an eBook.

After converting this with Calibre 5.17, I made some slight changes to the CSS and in ADE 2.0.1 and Calibre's viewer, it works.
Code:
body { widows: 1; orphans: 1; margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0; text-align: justify; } img { max-height: 100%; max-width: 100%; } .calibre { display: block; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding-left: 0; padding-right: 0; } .calibre1 { display: block; } .calibre2 { height: 100%; width: 100%; } |
