Epub font huge

bobbyger — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 21:27:51 GMT

I have downloaded a book from kobo. however, when I try to read it the font is massive even when the ereader is set to xs. It takes around 10 to 12 page turns to read 1 page on the book. does anyone else have this issue and have they found a workaround.

Cheers

Hello bobby - x50's = 350 and 650 generation, T1 is the next .

Your 350 should be OK with the Kobo books - but only epub and PDF .

Kobo do sell some books that won't work on the Sony, it may be (bit unlikely, as you d/loaded it) that the problem lurks there. Or it may be a dodgy version.

I see you have played around with sizing etc..

Other than that, try a soft reset, it may wake things up.

Or, contact Support.....

Haven't heard of this before - is it OK with other new d/loads ?

Otherwise, if you have the download intact, you could delete from device & try it with Calibre ?

Hi carbetmojo,

thanks for the info. I have tried to read it using the reader library and it is the same, I will try Calibre and see how it goes with that.

All my other books are fine, just that one.

Does sound like the format or related - good luck.

Sorry bobby - could try, if it's not too £££$$$'s, getting it from another source ? If that one's OK, it's Kobo.
