I read primarily on my laptop, which is widescreen, so this and the trouble I have with continuous scrolling (ie, it is continuous only within the chapter, and snaps to the start of the next chapter when the bottom of the page is the end of a chapter) are my main issues with epub format. Whenever possible, I've been using plain HTML in my browser. I don't understand enough about the formats to really figure out the best way to do this. LRF seems to work, but is there a particular format that is best for preserving the original image ratios before/during conversion back to epub? Other threads make it clear that some formats don't have the option to preserve aspect ratio. Now that I've set the Preserve Aspect Ratio in Preferences, I tried epub to epub, but it creates another file and marks one of them an unknown format.Īpparently I need to convert to an intermediary format and then back to epub. The first time I tried to convert epub to epub, it told me there was already an epub and asked me if I really wanted to do that.

(and it is awesome - Calibre is lightyears ahead of Adobe Digital Editions and Amazon's Kindle-for-PC and pretty much all the Android apps - thank you again!)

Maybe the individual/bulk conversion menu could have a shortcut to the Preferences, or some notation that indicates how the main Preferences have been set? Sort of a "hey, these things are over there if that's what you're wanting to change" Maybe like the hints that "float" on mouseover? I don't know the best way, I just know that I've been avoiding epub format for a long time because I couldn't figure it out, and I hate badgering people who give me nifty software for free. I kept trying to find it in right-click>Convert Books>Convert Individually or Bulk Convert It took me a ridiculously long time to figure out that the Preserve Aspect Ratio option was only available in Preferences>Conversion:Output Options
