kobo epub fix (for font size problems)

[Michael Kozlowski]

Hey Guys, I found a great program that will fix the font sizing issues found in EPUB files, when you copy them to your KOBO E-Reader!!

Simply download this program thats attached to this post.

Once you do that do the following

Download the Zip file from this post
Unzip the Program using WINZIP (you can google for it and download it)
Unzip the directory to your desktop
Take all of your E-Books that you have downloaded and create a directory for them on your desktop, such as E-Books
Run the Program you downloaded here
it will ask you to select a directory
select your E-Books directory
it will then convert your EPUB files
Once this is done, it will allow your font size to be adjusted in the Kobo E-Reader
Copy the EPUB books you converted to your Kobo, just copy them to the root directory of the kobo
Open the books once the Kobo Updates new Content
ENJOY!!!!

and here's the fixer for os x.
KoboBulkFixer.dmg


Here is a Video Tutorial we have done, that documents the entire process.

We did a video tutorial of this whole process too, to make it easier.

It works great, thanks! (Only tried one epub so far)

My eyes were getting a little tired of that super tiny default font size.

No problem, i think everyone with a KOBO e-reader had the small font problem, since Kobo was VERY slow in releasing a fix for this, we decided to take the initiative ourselves.

thanks heaps for the kobobulkfixer
It worked well for the first few books but now, when I click on start I get the message: "70 error unzipping. permission denied"
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks and Regards

[Michael Kozlowski]

You see that error when you try and fix the same book twice.

[anicho56]

Thanks for that!
Also it seems that loading e books onto Calibre, clicking on the "Convert E books" icon at the top, then on "look and feel" and then checking the box "disable font size rescaling" and then adding an e book also fixes the problem quite elegantly
Kind Regards

I am having a heck of a time trying to get this done. I have done everything in the video a thousand times over and I get error 53.. So if anyone can help me with this that would be great or I am going to have to get stronger glasses

[Michael Kozlowski]

Error 53 weird, are you trying to convert un DRM epub files?

Works like a charm! Thanks.
