The patch for KEPUB word spacing is only useful if you use a small font. The larger your font size is, the less effect the patch will have. The patch effectively does nothing when your font is big.

The default reader is showing illustration larger for kepub than epub, at least on the one book I tried. It's expanding them to the left and right edges.
It did not use the formatting from the prior open book, so I had to redo font size, etc. I'm using a larger font size, about 14 lines/page, so it seems I can ignore the word space patch. A tutorial six page popped up when I opened the book, how to turn pages, the meaning of icons, etc. And, yes, if you hold down a button it scrolls forward or backward, depending.

Yeah, you definitely won't see any difference with the patch. I get around 20 lines per screen, and the patch has no effect, other than moving the words a pixel or two. Unless your font size is so small that the few reclaimed pixels allows you to fit an extra word on the line, the patch isn't useful.

The image viewer is a definite advantage to kepub.
Some words at the right margin are hyphenated in kepub, even with left justification. None were with epub books. There are some one line widows/orphans. Top and bottom margins are smaller. You can set a secondary font in case the primary doesn't work. That's all I've noticed so far. Last edited by foosion; 07-15-2024 at 08:44 PM. |

I read kepubs on my Sage and epubs on my Libra 2 (the reason is personal preference regarding the layout and word spacing - IMO epubs look better on the smaller screen of the Libra 2, while there's no real difference on the 8'' screen of the Sage). |

On my Libra 2, I have a book in its original epub and a kepub version converted with KePub Output, both loaded by Calibre.
I have both set to the same chapter beginning. The epub is listed as page 160 of 405 (MyBooks shows 39%) while the kepub is 812 of 2607 (28%, but 812/2607=31%). FWIW, Amazon lists the print length at 402. ?? |

![]() I still don't understand why the device doesn't correctly calculate the percentage read. BTW, is there a way on the device to see my font size, margin, etc. as numbers rather than unquantified positions on sliders? |

For example, the current chapter would read 20 pages, and the current book page be 100. At the start of the next chapter, the current book page may be 23. |
