Kindle image tiling mysteriously

Mollycat · 09-26-2014, 07:01 PM

I am trying to create an ebook by converting a folder of images to MOBI using Calibre's CBZ comic conversion.

It works mostly ok but some images have the bottom shown at the top as you can see here:

I have disabled comic processing and the only special setting I have made is to add the following extra css to make images fill the available space:

Code:

img {
	height: auto;
	max-width: 100%;
}

Any ideas?

I'm using Calibre 2.4 and it's a Kindle White Paper 2.

I don't think that what you're seeing is the bottom of the image at the top of the page. Rather it appears to be the top of the previous image.

Check your page refresh setting. It may not be redrawing on every page (which is actually OK).

The real question is why the current page is rendering lower than the previous page and why your current image is being cut off at the bottom. It seems like a specific display area, like a viewbox, has been set and the image alignment (or margins, etc...) has pushed it down out of this area.

Since you're using Calibre for the conversion, try asking in the Calibre forum.
