Strange formatting on ebook
Hello, my apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I searched as best I could, but couldn't find a similar issue.
I just bought (and love!) my new 505. I've loaded a few books onto it no problem, even successfully checked out an ebook loan from my library and that is working and displaying perfectly in the reader. I also purchased Nothing's Sacred by Lewis Black from Kobo in ePub format. While the full text displays in the 505, it is in a narrow column, almost like a newspaper column. There are large margins on either side. If I zoom the text, the margins stay the same, I just see less, but larger, text on the screen. Is this a problem? Is there some setting I can change to adjust this? Or is this just the way some ebooks are? It's all still very new to me. Cheers. |

Formatting is done by the HTML in the book, which includes the margins.
Most of the ePubs from Sony I've got (well, all 5 of them), the margins were fine. The one I got from Kobo had the font set small, and the margins set to be huge. To fix it, you'd probably have to strip the DRM and have a rough understanding of what HTML/CSS is. |
