howdy,
so, i've sideloaded*** a book or two(hundred) into my new-to-me Kobo Glo (firmware 3.12), and i've noticed that while i CAN adjust margins (left-right only, not top-bottom), i can't adjust font size or font spacing. i've read (but don't truly understand) that i can do something to a CSS to "unlock" formatting so that the Glo can override it.
i'm using Edward Robertson's The Cutting Room as the guinea-pig. great book, but reading it on my tablet (Arc7HD) using Google Play Books kind of sets my expectations of being able to do similar font/spacing/etc adjustments on the Glo...
so, is there a specific CSS file that i could use and shove into ALL of my epubs so that i can have a consistent and tweakable reading experience? i'm dabbling a little bit in Calibre 2.13 as well as Sigil 0.8.2 so if it's something i can pre-set and automatically apply to whatever book i run through a "convert" or "export" function, that would be awesome. or manually replace a CSS file, that's fine too.
i'm used to sideloading using the basic Win Explorer method of drag-n-drop, but if doing it via Calibre is better and automatic anyways then i can break that habit. i'd only load 5 to 25 books at a time, cuz when i loaded 400 of them browsing through them was a huge PITA. i do prefer the manual drag-n-drop, though...
EDIT:
*** eh, i forgot to mention that i originally ran the books through Calibre's Convert epub->epub function (default settings) since without that i couldn't get covers that i changed to stay embedded. maybe this was too harsh? or is that where i can make specific overrides?
