Book file has many cut off pages

AudreyMedia · 11-04-2023, 04:25 PM

I didn't know where to post this but I've been having an issue where a book file has cut off pages in my eReader. I downloaded multiple formats of the same book and converted to other formats and had the same issue. I looked at the pages in Calibre and it seems they are literally cut off in the file. Like only the right half of the pages show in preview. Is there anything I can do to fix this in calibre or should I give up on this book?

The Book is Piano Book for Adult Beginners First Volume by Damon Ferrante if that matters

Could these be images that are not coded to display properly?

Having acquired a copy, it appears the whole book is nothing but images. The way the book is coded, not all readers will render it properly. In which case you can use a converter to make it into either a comic book-like format or a PDF, or you can just extract the images yourself and make a PDF out of it.

Thank you, I will try converting to CBZ. Converting to PDF resulted in intermittent blank pages with pages showing the full thing but very small

Unpacking the file to extract images and make a CBZ file has worked!
