Image size

Do you do any manual edit on the size of the image in your epub/mobi file? I ask because if you do, I want to request the image size to be larger. I have a Kindle DX so it would be nice if the resolution is big. I believe it should be scaled down just fine on smaller screen as well. Thanks!--Hypernova 04:57, 7 February 2012 (CST)

All of my ePUBs are manualy eddited after Calibre heve created them. I'm still experimenting with ePUB2 and my PRS-T1. Current CSS for the inline images uses 40% width of the reader screen. I will do an edit on the ePUB and make them larger. But the quality of the inline images of Golden Time might not be so good(I mean the four images with the characters).

That's fine. I talked about other projects as well. Since baka-tsuki mediawiki only allowed the thumbnails to a certain size, what I usually get from caliber is a little too small. As long as you include the bigger image as sources, it's ok if it scaled down by CSS since it can be zoom it later on the reader itself.--Hypernova 20:22, 7 February 2012 (CST)

Disclaimers

In any EPUB or MOBI file we create, should we not be including a page near the beginning, along with the credits, wherein we give the standard disclaimers about B-T work? At the beginning of the Toradora PDF edition, we find the following:

Font style tag

Hi Simon. Thanks again for your epub/mobi files. You made my life much easier, even though your metadata preference is not exactly like mine :).

I have a request though. Your epub/mobi seems to have specified font style on them. It looks fine on the Kindle, but on Calibre reader, I cannot do anything to change it. The font face stay the same no matter what I choose in preference, and I cannot use CSS styling either. I guess you have them specified in CSS (and maybe with !important even). So I'd like to request, if possible, to take them off and leave it to the viewer to decide after this. Thanks again.

Done. Just redownload them. --Simon

That was fast. Thanks!

One more suggestion, Simon. I think you should take the styling out from the summery also. The background and different font can look weird on Calibre Book detail pane. This is not really important though.
