2 column mode
Found this "feature" today. When zooming in to the smallest font-size sometimes (depending on the book) the Odyssey will switch to 2-column mode and sometimes not. On some books it will switch to 2-column only in landscape mode. Anyone know what is going on there?
Attached is a picture of the same book (The Iliad & The Odyssey) that came with the reader - the one in spanish does not do 2 column mode, the english one does in the smallest and 2nd smallest font size setting. Feature or bug? And what do I have to change to force 2 column mode in epubs at smaller zoomlevels? Last edited by DuckieTigger; 01-21-2013 at 07:55 PM. |

It's an ade feature.
Should work with any epub with the "ade page template". that is "page template.xhtml" with stuff looking like that : Quote:

Ok, found the problem. The page-template is techinically inside the spanish epub, but it never gets referenced, my bad for thinking that if a file exists inside a epub that it actually gets used. I use the german epub of ilias and odyssey as reference (this one also has "built in" 2 column mode). This is main01.htm:

Did not know that I actually have to remember html coding just to enjoy my ereaders undocumented features .... And do other ereaders do that too - displaying the 2 column automatically? |

works fine on the T1.
showing 2 columns with the smallest font size in portrait mode. When in landscape mode it shows 2 columns with the smallest three font sizes. |

Since it's in the bundle of the Odyssey, you should tell it to bookeen that you find this, they will may correct it in future versions!?
