Odd ebook formatting behaviour with epubs
Hello, everyone. I don't know if anyone can help with this, but I'm gonna ask anyway.
When I import, convert, update metadata, or otherwise just breathe on an epub file lately that I have... um... acquired from the interwebs I get a very strange behaviour from Calibre. The first three, four, five, or six letters in a word get shown in BOLD. The rest of the letters in the word then are displayed normally. This is displayed like this regardless of device I open the book in. I've tried it on my Kindle Fire HD 10 (9th gen), Kindle Fire HD 10 Plus (11th gen), Various generations of Paperwhites I own, my iPhone with the Kindle iOS app, and viewing it in Calibre in the built-in ebook viewer. This is my process: Add book to Calibre Download/update metadata, along with the best resolution cover I can find Save to disk folder (still as an epub) Send to Kindle (using Amazon's app) After this, I usually batch convert a bunch of books to KFX overnight since they run so slowly (not every time, though) Sometimes, I will upload the original file I downloaded before I imported it to Calibre via Send to Kindle app if I've checked it's metadata and discovered it to be complete as-is. This makes the books quite hard to read, obviously. If you wish, I can upload an epub that displays the behaviour, but that may be against the forum's rules. You can PM me for a work-around if that is agreeable. My particulars: Computer running Calibre is an iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013) running MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 Calibre version is 6.11 (most recent compatible with Catalina) Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide! |

You'll have to look at the code in the calibre editor, to determine what the issue is.

That sounds a lot like Bionic Reading.
