The benefit of using the Kobo config file is that it will survive firmware upgrades, whereas the old kobopatches needed to be re-enabled after every upgrade. Last edited by jackie_w; 06-01-2022 at 09:40 PM. |

Much appreciated, geek1011 & jackie_w!
The reading improvement of KePub stylesheet additions - word-spacing patch is fantastic! (I've set mine to -0.03em as -0.05em feels a bit too crowded. ) |

The descriptions from the 2 retired patches may help with understanding the 2 options:
Basically you're choosing whether to render kepub text faster or "better". The latter being subjective, of course. |

which is of course made abundantly clear by the fact that every single post talking about these settings says "Kepub", not EPUB. Subtle hints like "QtWebKit is the underlying text rendering engine used by the Kobo kepub (e.a.)reading app" might have given it away to sharp eyed readers as well.
