Reply To: Cover size not 100% shown in Adobe Digital Edition

Hello Kathleen,

If you want to make changes on your ePub, you have several solutions (the second one is maybe the best for you) :

1. Modify the extension name of the ePub file and write “zip” instead of “epub”. After that, just unzip the file.
1.1 Then open the folder “text” and open “cover.xhtml” with an editing software like Notepad ++.
1.2 Inside the part called “img src=”…/Images/nameofyourcover.jpg”, paste the following sentence : style=”max-height: 100%” instead of style=”max-width: 100%”.
1.3 Save your document and modify the extension name “zip” by “epub”.
1.4 Now the cover will appear perfectly

2. You can also download “Sigil”, witch is a free software that allows you to modify easily all the files of the ePub (more easily than the first solution).
Just follow the steps of the solution 1 (from 1.1 to 1.2) after openning the ePub file with Sigil. You won’t need to open the files with a text editor because this option is uncluded directly in Sigil.

3. “Tweak epub” is the last solution. It gives you the possibility to open the ePub files without modify the extension name, but it offers less options than “Sigil”.

Hope it will help you.
