will custom firmware fix spacing issues?

StephenQueen · 01-16-2022, 12:42 PM

Hi all, my new kobo spacing slide won't work with epubs
I was wondering if installing a new firmware /patch will solve it.
I've been reading about it, but I'm Spanish, I feel I'm missing something.

Said that, what is the better way to do it...? what firmware / patch will better do the job? (if any)

Thank you very much.

What do you mean by spacing?

I suspect he is running into epubs where the line spacing is set as an absolute value. In that case, the line spacing slider will not have an effect. You can override that behaviour for kepubs and epubs but it does require enabling 1 patch for kepubs and 2 patches for epubs, The required patches would be Force user line spacing in KePubs and Force user line spacing in ePubs (part 1 of 2) in the libnickel patches and Force user line spacing in ePubs (part 2 of 2) in the librmsdk patches.

yeah, that was, thank you.
I've have seen koreader performing better with my epubs in other device.
If I install it on Kobo Clara, can I spect the same behavior as in the other device?

Yes. Even better actually as it doesn't crash like it does on Pocketbook.
