Try adding to this your Body style As you found out, the default is ltr

body {
<the usual stuff>
direction : rtl;

}

Can't find the Body style.
or do you mean to add it to the code "<body lang="he" vlink="black" link="blue" class="calibre">" in edit book?

Add it to the css that is linked to those pages

CSS rules not in the book, just use the devices default settings

Sorry, I use the editor for most changes

You can force it during conversion settings: Look and feel: Extra CSS

Past this into that box and finish the conversion

Code:

body {  direction : rtl;  }

It change the highlight direction to rtl but not the page turn, it still default is ltr.

EDIT:I just notice that the text is grey color and when i highlight it, the highlight text change to black.

Kobo (KEPUB) might not honor the direction
A Kobo expert needs to chime in

I chose Body (the over all point), LTR might be coded at or nearer to the Paragraph level.

The Editor on a plain EPUB is your friend. The Kobo will show those.

It's worth while looking at https://github.com/kobolabs/epub-spec and seeing what it says regarding left to right.

If you're meaning page turning direction instead of writing direction...

There's at least three ways to change page turning direction in Kobo:

1. In "Reading setting -> Page Controls", the third method is chosen. In that case, just choose another method.

2. In opf file, page-progression-direction="rtl" is set. In that case, remove the property, and make Kobo reparse the book.*

3. Something directly updated content.PageProgressDirection='rtl' in KoboReader.sqlite. There's at least one hack automatically does this if you install it on your device**. In that case, uninstall the hack and make Kobo reparse the book.*

* Which means you have to delete the book on the device and resend it again. If you delete the book while connecting it to a PC, you have to disconnect and reconnect again before resending.

** Although the script I mentioned here only modifies cbz / pdf / cbr, not epub.

epub.

Yes I know that, but the swipe is ltr.

The swipe to turn pages with Kobo is always right to left to page forward. You can only alter the tap page turn option.

The swipe respects the page-progression-direction; that is, if the property is rtl, you swipe left to right to go forward. (But then, if you alter the tap option, it becomes tap right to go forward again.)

I fix the problem, the text in the word file was a little grey.
