    Hey,
    Thanks loads for the help. I thought I was stuck with the stupid formatting as a cost for the sin of using free books for the kindle.

    If you watch the Calibre demo video on the Calibre website homepage, you will hear the creator of Calibre, Kovid Goyal, pronounce it as KA-luh-bur. Just saying... Thanks, for the vid!

    Erika,
    Thanks for the help converting a PDF to E-Pub. I didn't know how to remove headers and footers except the hard way :(
    By-the-way, according to kovid, the pronunciation for Calibre is the same as the caliber of a gun. Don't let the "re" at the end throw you, that's just our British heritage coming out. It's still pronounced the same as "er". Like fibre optics.

    In all videos that I've seen on CZcams, you're the only one that gives that trick. Now, when converting my book from pfd to Mobi, the image of the cover is duplicated, the footers, headers and the sentences are breaken off.
    What should I do?

  • @tomkent4656

    You can also easily get rid of excess paragraph spacing.

  • @fiudad
    @fiudad Před 7 lety

    Thank you for the video. I tried it but it gets some of the titles messy.
    I mean the chapter titles are like on 2 lines: the first line is fine but the second line is written much bigger than the first line.

    How can you manually remove ? I have several and they are not unique enough to show up in a search.

    @TeflDude Před 3 lety

    Very inciteful. Any chance of making a video of how to go from epub to pdf and have titles and page numbers in the correct places. Students often need to reference a comment and need exact page numbers which epub do not position correctly.

  • @andrewjacob2773
    @andrewjacob2773 Před 6 lety

    Okay, so one has already created the original in say openoffice writer or word, etc, and then converted it (exported) to pdf and the pdf faithfully reflects the original, which is what you want, right? This tutorial seems to be saying how you go about removing some of the original pdf formatting for conversion to epub, etc. But one doesn't want to remove the formatting! We want consistency from original to pdf to epub/mobi, etc.

    I want to change the color of all instances of gray fonts in a book, barely visible. The grey color is too light; I want to make it brown or dark brown but how to edit it? There is a code in those instances I checked from the editor. How to do this? I am not a programmer, so I am unaware of these things. Thanks

    • @havan56
      @havan56 Před 2 lety

      1) You needn't explain it out loud every time you do a book. That will shave about 8.5 minutes off each book you convert.
      2) 10000 books? If you can afford a library like that, you can afford to hire a kid to do the Calibre work for you.

      Actually, I like this pronunciation. It accentuates the "book" part of Calibre
