My Calibre conversion default settings remove it. Then even without adjusting Kobo GUI all ebooks look OK. |

Graphic images to simulate text instead of an embedded fonts. Or graphic images to simulate a two column table.
Graphic images that are too small. |

I just read a book (Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo) that used an image of three stars for scene breaks. I'm not sure what the image size was, but on the screen, they were pretty fuzzy.

I don't understand why a graphic of asterisks is used when it's a common text character. I've also seen this sort of graphic used and every place it's used is a different graphic file so the eBook is loaded with excess graphic files. |

Which books have you seen it on? Am I too cynical if I guess they are overwhelmingly written by white men? |
