Converting from Kobo Desktop kepub to Kobo Aura Edition 2
Hi - newbie here.
I purchased a book from Kobo (David Walliam's The World's Worst Children) and I would like to manage it via Calibre. What works: - downloading the .epub into Adobe Digital Editions - stripping the DRM from that epub - adding that to Calibre (default configuration is 'Kobo') - pushing that to my Kobo Auro Edition 2 HOWEVER, when I view it on the Kobo the images are split across multiple pages. I suspect I haven't taught Calibre about the Kobo device I have as if I convert the book manually then it states the Kobo device has a resolution of 536x710 when the Kobo marketing page states it is 1024x768. If I try adding the .kepub file directly then Calibre can't make head-nor-tail of it. So, I suspect I either need to: - figure out how to add kepub files directly to Calibre - teach it to export to a 1024x768 device What am I missing? Thanks! |

It sounds like maybe the this is a fixed layout eBook. What you should do is download the kepub with Kobo Desktop and put that onto your Aura Edition 2. Or you can connect to WiFi and sync using the Aura2.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried that before Calibre and it did indeed work flawlessly. However, I have a bunch of books from elsewhere which aren't in the Kobo ecosystem hence wanting to use Calibre

What you could try is using the KoboTouchExtended driver in Calibre to convert to kepub and see how that works.
The thread to read about and ask about the plugin is https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=211135 |
