Comics fail to page refresh with every turn
Hi.
I'm trying to read some comics on my kindle PW4 but I'm running into the following issues: If I use Kindle Comic Converter software to convert cbz file to mobi and then try to run it, it doesn't refresh the page with every turn and therefore I'm left with ghosting which is quite annoying. (I have the option enabled and it refreshes every 4th page or so anyway) If I use Calibre to do the same, it does refresh the page with every turn but I'm left with these somewhat annoying margins that are making the comic harder to read as the space is not fully utilized. As far as I know, the files are both in mobi format, though KCC-generated mobi's allow me to zoom in on the comic and they seem to ignore Kindle's default margins, hiding the clock and the book progress bar. That's the only difference between them that I'm aware of, yet I have no idea why would the page refreshing not work as intended. Ideally, I would want to have a comic that is scaled the way KCC does it, while simultaneously be able to refresh the screen on every page so that the images are clear. As a side note, my friend has a PW5 and the pages refresh just fine there. Any help or advice would be appreciated. |

What settings did you use on KCC?
I tried reading a graphic novel I converted using KCC and my Kindle refreshes every page. The only checked setting I have is 'Panel View 4/2/HQ.' |

I used the PW4 preset with 'Stretch/Upscale' checked.
Anyway, I found the culprit. I was unware it existed but apparently there's an extra 'page refresh' setting under the 'Aa' menu where you would normally find font settings etc. This menu is different for books and for what kindle recognizes as comics. After I marked that setting everything is now working. |
