Some perplexities about Clara HD
Good evening, everyone.
I'm new to the forum, and I browsed some fo your threads, so I hope you can help me. Today I bought a Kobo Clara HD, thinking of it ass my primary comic reader. First, a friend loaded on it some .cbz he had, and I was able to see covers in the preview. Later, after a connection to Kobo desktop, the deviced updated to firmware 4.10.xxx (I don't remember the version) and since then, I can't view the covers of any cbz. It just uses the blank cover with title. Plus, I am unable to read any cbr/cbz self made (I have scans of my old comics, just compressed the folder and made the file, in rar and zip), answering there's a problem and the book can't be open... I don't know ho to handle this, can anyone help me? Thanks in advance. |

That's really a good hint! I'll try and I'll post the result!
By any chance, is there a way to add the author's name to the cbz/cbr? I'd like to see the author below the comic name Many thanks again, I know I'm a total newbie... ^^" |

Guys, it worked! The problem was in the presence of a subfolder, as you said! I'll now proceed to verify if Calibre allows me to edit metadata in order to add the author!
Thanks, you did great! ^_^ |

As an alternative to the metadata editing(never got it tried) im naming the cbz/cbr files with the number of the issue in front(so theyre ordered correctly) and then just assigning them to a shelf with the name of the comic book series.Something like this:
001 - Безимена жртва.cbz Cool that you got comics working for you , glad to help. |

Dont know if this helps, but if you are going to use your Clara for reading comics and/or manga (cbr/cbz formats) give this a try https://kcc.iosphe.re/
You can convert the cbz to use up the whole device page (Use Glo hd preset as they have the same screen size) |

sorry for the late answer, I've been quite busy with my job... that KCC is surely amazing, I tried it converting something for my Cybook Opus and the result is really something nice! It reminds me of the PDFs (with all these limits, but nice)!
