I bought a Kobo Touch last friday as my very first e-reader. I didn't want anything fancy and all Kobo readers were currently on sale so it seemed like the perfect option.
I am, however, a perfectionist. I like everything aesthetically perfect. I spent months making sure my iTunes library was perfectly organized, with names correctly spelled, covers with the right resolution and I even spent a huge amount of time adding lyrics to every single song.
My currently issue with my brand new KT is that the covers for certain eBooks are not showing on the device at all or they are too small and end up not fitting the screen well when on sleeping mode.
For most people this wouldn't be a problem and certainly wouldn't stop them from reading but it's bugging me.
I know there are a lot of threads about this issue (and I did researched a bit first before starting my own) but I couldn't find a thread that could help solve my exact problem. Let me explain:
As soon as I decided to buy a Kobo I downloaded and installed Calibre.
Since then I've been uploading a few of my eBooks at a time and editing their metadata.
Yesterday, wanting to finally test my KT, I exported all my 132 books so far from Calibre to the KT main memory. Everything looked perfect: even all the covers were showing.
I had, however, bough a Micro SD card along with the KT. I connected the KT to my laptop again, removed all files from the main memory and sent them to the SD card instead. This is when the problem started: the covers are all kinds of messed up. They are either too small or they are not showing at all!
I spent all day trying to fix this issue on my own but nothing works.
I used Sigil to edit the cover but it didn't work.
The only way the covers will show up the way I want them to is when the books are on the device's main memory. As soon as I upload them to the SD card they get all weird.
Thing you should probably know:
- I'm on a Mac;
- I had to reformat the SD card in order for it to be recognized on the KT.
Would appreciate if someone could help me fix this.
Thank you in advance!
