Kobo Libra Color

Rellwood · 10-19-2024, 11:51 PM

I have two 3 kindles, (1 paper white, 1 better paperwhite, 1 Scribe) I just got the Kobo Libra Color. I know that I have to convert the Kobo books, but does Calibre have the Libra Color settings? And do I have to have this setting for all the books in my library?

You don't need any Kobo Libra settings. Under Conversion => Common options, I use Tablet as the output profile and Default profile as the input profile. Under the Conversion => Output options => EPUB output, I have preserve cover aspect ratio checked, Split files larger than set to 512KB (default is 260KB), Shrink images larger than set to none and EPUB version set to 3. In tweaks, I have the maximum_cover_size tweak set to 2500,3750.

I do shrink the images before setting them as cover images (1000x1500 or 1125x1500 whichever is closer to the original aspect ratio) but I prefer to do this once rather than having calibre pre-shrink them and then shrinking them again.

I'll try that. Thanks!
