I thought that it may be possible to convert a downloaded book from Amazon, then sideload it into the Kobo, so I downloaded a few to try out. There is a case for standardizing all cover sizes - so that they look all the same on reader app ' shelf'.I have a number of books purchased from Amazon, but never get around to reading them because I have hundreds of epub books on my Kobo device. I had discovered by trail and error that those values worked for all my devices, and have not looked at changing.īefore that I had had instances of missing covers when I sideloaded some book with large covers to Kindle or to Kindle apps.

I admit that my 600 x 900 is somewhat arbitrary and higher values may be better. Thats enough for me to tell the difference beterrn 600 x- 900 and say 300 x 450, but beyond that its diminishing returns, I'd have ot enlarge to benefit from bigger picturesĪlso, I don't dwell on covers,I glance at covers in reader apps or when selecting next read, but that's basically to confirm that the cover appears consistent with the author and title in other row If I am in calibre main window, on a 27 inch monitor, the pane which shows the cover has an approx 3 inch by 2 inch cover image

Ok - but ua nless you have huge monitor or run calibre full screen. Also, sometimes I do put down my H2O for long enough for it to go to sleep. Given that a lot of eBooks have generic crap covers, I want to be able to see the cover in Calibre's cover browser and in Kobo's cover view. (Which necessitates the Apprentice Alf drm removal plugin.) I still buy my books from Amazon and use Calibre to convert them to epub. After converting the book to epub it might help to run it through that. In its Fix menu, at the top, is Swap Author, which is a godsend for when you've 'fixed' them for the stupid Kindle.Īnother potentially useful plugin is Polish books. There's a plugin for Calibre named Quality Check.

The Kobo Utilities plugin is one that you should install and setup to backup your Kobo's database when you connect it to your Calibre's library. Kobo has the ability to Sort by first or last name when sorting by author.ģ. You want the author name to be First Last like it it on the cover of the book. That works very well on my Kobo Aura H2O.Ģ. If the cover (existing or replaced) is larger then 1600 lines, I reduce the size to 1600 lines. I copy the cover and using the editor, I paste it over the existing cover. If the eBook does not have a high resolution cover, I try to find a high resolution cover. Any other insights on calibre management for those who also switched from kindle to kobo would be much appreciated! I've already heard about the kobo epub plugin, but I do not know anything else. Should I change that back to first name, last name for the kobo?ģ.

I never figured out how to make calibre fix this, so I just manually changed the names in calibre to last, first and it worked fine for the kindle. Most of my authors are sorted by last name, first name because the kindle automatically re-populates them as first name, last name - but still sorts via last name for alphabetical purposes. On my kindle, most of my covers are 651x990, so I was wondering if anyone found the sweet spot for image size and what that is.Ģ. Is there a best image size for covers? I ask because the covers show up as screensavers as well on the forma. I really appreciate any insight you guys can give!ġ. My calibre library is completely catered toward the kindle's eccentricities, so I was just wondering if anyone had answers to my relatively niche questions. Hey guys, I am a longtime kindle user and I just ordered a kobo forma.
