Kindle Voyage eBook Inconsitency
Hi folks,
I recently upgraded from a Kindle 4th Gen to Kindle Voyage. While I'm loving the hardware upgrade, I noticed that my eBooks which are purchased via the Amazon store appear to be perfectly formatted while the eBooks I upload via Calibre or via Amazon's Send to Kindle app have inconsistencies - mainly in line spacing, paragraphing and chapter breaking. Can anyone explain to me how I can prevent this from happening? Have a good weekend! |

Are you saying that the same book appears differently on your Voyage depending on whether you send it to the Voyage directly from Amazon, or send it from Calibre?

Hey thanks for the response, it's the same books but different sources.
I downloaded Pride and Prejudice from Amazon onto my Kindle and then downloaded a free epub version and uploaded via Calibre. What I noticed was that the line spacing and formatting was very reader friendly when downloading from Amazon while this was not the case with the converted one. So ideally, I'd like to know some way to ensure that conversions come out good looking on the Voyage. Last edited by sidspacewalker; 03-26-2017 at 02:13 PM. |

Hi all I think I found a solution - to use Kindle Voyage as an output profile for the conversion. Apart from images and chapter breaks, this solves the line spacing and font issues.
Anyone got a better approach to this? |

We don't close threads. Other people may wish to contribute to it even when it holds no further interest for you.
Both of the images in your link look fairly reasonable to me. What do you consider to be wrong with the first of them? Last edited by HarryT; 03-26-2017 at 05:05 PM. |

In the first image you can see the book is not responding to the line spacing options set by my Kindle the same way the book in the second image is. It was driving me nuts.

Oh, I see. That's just down to differences in the books' CSS. Open the book in Calibre's editor and edit the CSS appropriately. Alternatively you can do it by setting the appropriate line-spacing options in Calibre's conversion options (although using the editor gives you a lot more control, of course).
