rotate page

Gene45 · 08-23-2014, 01:49 PM

In some books there are charts or pictures that are rotated, and hard to read in a tablet because of the size. Ina PC the page is on side, i.e landscape where most pages are portrait.

Is there a way to rotate one page in a PC to let it be expanded, and right side up? .

If you are asking about the calibre viewer, you can right click on any image and display it in its own popup window where it can be rotated/zoomed as you like.

Thanks. That works but when I try to zoom in to enlarge it, the aspect ratio reverts to what it was, . i.e it gets compressed horizontally.

As far as I know, zooming preserves whatever natural aspect ratio the image has. If you are seeing something different, post a book demonstrating the problem.

I hope this is useful.

The book came as kindle and was converted to epub in Calibre.

Ah you mean a rotate followed by a zoom, this will be fixed in the next release.
