5.10.1 - viewer problem

crane3 · 02-09-2021, 05:19 PM

Tried the Calibre e-viewer & cannot get a good "view". This is with the 64-bit 5.10.1; have never tried to read a book with Calibre.

The problem is that the book is selected, the cover shows up then pressing the up button, the cover picture shrinks to very small then the rest of the book pages are also the same size like a postage stamp.

Pressing the down button/arrow just goes to the previous page; no expansion.

I usually read with my tablets. Oh, the "book" tried is a manga in epub file format & don't know if this makes a difference with a 'real' epub book; will try after signing off.

I cannot get 5.10.1 64-bit to shrink the cover. It just doesn't work for me.

Just tried reading an ebook & the Calibre viewer works like it should. Looks like I just need to set my win10 laptop to use freda+ also.

Should a manga/comic shrink? or did I miss a setting somewhere? It is not an important problem to me as I would normally use a ereader app instead of the Calibre e-viewer.

It's probably a fixed layout book, these are not supported in calibre.
